ABC News wired for the convention
ABC News will run a 24-hour news service available on digital cable, the Internet and some cellphones through election day in what may be a precursor to a service offered full time in the future.
The venture, “ABC News Now,” begins operating at noon Monday, presenting gavel-to-gavel coverage of the Democratic National Convention, anchored by Peter Jennings.
The service will offer news highlights and rerun material -- “Nightline” the next day, for instance. ABC’s affiliates are being encouraged to place some of their local news, weather and sports on the service.
In Los Angeles, the service will be available on Adelphia Digital Cable, Cox Communications Digital Cable and Time Warner Digital Cable.
