The first night of arguments in favor of President Donald Trump's impeachment before the U.S.
Senate was judged not ready for prime time by many of the nation's television executives.
ABC, CBS and
NBC all stuck with regularly scheduled programs like “Chicago Med,” “Criminal Minds” and “Modern Family” Wednesday evening instead of showing the House managers' evening session at the impeachment trial.
Fox News Channel, after showing Rep. Adam Schiff speak for about a half hour, interrupted for a story about a child support case involving former Vice President Joe Biden's son Hunter, and never returned.
