ABC News will launch an aggressive salvo of programming on the day after the election in a bid to keep viewers fascinated with politics.
When Election Day is over and the votes have all been tallied, many TV-news operations see a chance to pull back on the throttle and get back to regular coverage. ABC News believes a new cycle is about to begin.
The Walt Disney unit plans an aggressive bout of coverage on Wednesday, November 9, that Tom Cibrowski, senior vice president of ABC News programs, newsgathering and special events, suggested would kick off a new effort to draw viewers – and, presumably, the ratings and ad dollars that come with them. “World News Tonight” will on Wednesday serve up hourly Facebook Live streams, starting at 10 a..m. eastern. “Nightline” will launch a new docu-series examining the transition of power taking place after the election, and ABC News Digital will debut a “Promise Tracker” that looks at how various candidate pledges are being fulfilled. “Good Morning America” will kick off coverage early in the day.
