Question: Are the Networks Interrupting Daily Programming to Televise the Press Briefings?

I just watched a preview of an interview that Judge Jeanine Pirro conducted with Trump. Trump & Pirro both seemed to indicate that the networks were airing these briefings daily.
Is that true? Are they just talking about the cable news networks, or is it ABC, NBC, and CBS, too? I can't imagine that the networks would interrupt their regular programming to air these briefings, but I don't recall the cable networks doing it, either.
If I get to watch, it's via phone or PC. I had no idea that any television network other than C-Span was covering this on a daily basis.

Thanks. What I f8gured.
I didn't know that FOX, CNN & MSNBC were carrying these briefings daily. That's something new, bc it wasn't happening on Obama's watch.
Of course, there's one reason why. RATINGS.

Yes Spicer is on all the time.
Yesterday while I was watching CBS morning news stopped their show to tell us and show us
Donald's TWITTER he did while they were on air.

People do love to rubberneck at the scene of an accident.
I miss the days, just a few short months ago, when the pressers were boring because the president wasn't a complete frick up.

I think Melissa McCarthy helps Spicer's show get ratings.
They want to see what her next SNL bit will be based on.

Yeah - it is surprising how congenial the press can be when the POTUS is following their agenda and they are not trying to get him impeached.
The press went into hibernation for 8 years during the Obama regime.

At work they call it "the Spice is Right." Both Libs and Conservatives watch/listen and discuss the latest. I don't ever remember it being a "thing" before.

CBS REAL NEWS<------ 
cut into the press briefings Friday because they really thought it was Nixonian and Spicer would announce Trump was arrested on LIVE TV.
