PBS offers full, prime time coverage of the Democratic National Convention.

Long known for providing the most complete primetime coverage of the national political conventions, PBS NEWSHOUR is going to even greater lengths to give viewers a first-hand look at the 2012 party conventions.

Award-winning political journalists Judy Woodruff and Gwen Ifill will co-anchor gavel-to-gavel broadcast coverage from the PBS Skybox at both the Republican National Convention in Tampa, FL (through August 30 beginning at 5:00 p.m. due to scheduled changes resulting form Hurricane Isaac) and from the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, NC September 4 - 6.

PBS special broadcast coverage of the Democratic Convention will begin at 6:00 p.m. on KUED and continue live until the conclusion of the proceedings at approximately 9:00 p.m. The coverage will be interspersed with analysis, interviews and commentary.
