Who’s on WCCO tonight? Good question
Posted on August 27th, 2008 – 1:48 PMBy Neal Justin
I knew things were desperate at WCCO these days, but who knew things were bad enough that I’d be making a guest appearance? Jason DeRusha’s question during the 10 p.m. newscast tonight will be on how much TV viewers care about convention coverage and, due to the fact that Jason’s top 42 choices weren’t available, I’ll be chipping in my two cents. Despite the big get, DeRusha showed up without a tie. No respect, I tell ya.
For those who have read my recent stuff, all 13 of you, you’ll know that I think an hour a night from each convention is just fine. Political junkies can savor more, but the average American is probably best served hearing one or two speeches, getting some quickie analysis and then doing something more productive, like catching up on AMC’s “Mad Men.”

The cool thing is that Neal is wearing the same hawaiian shirt that he’s wearing in the graphic here on his blog. So that’s nice.
One hour of primetime convention coverage per evening by the broadcast networks is plenty. Cable news outlets have saturation convention coverage for news mavens, conspiracy theorists, political junkies and the scary Keith Olberman hysterics who can’t get enough of the lunatic’s “I was just thinking here” insights and observations.
