Fox News will cablecast Sarah Palin’s National Tea Party Convention keynote address to a potential audience of millions of viewers live Saturday night:
The network, which pays Palin as a political analyst and is considered the favored network of conservatives, will carry Palin’s speech during Geraldo at Large in the 9 p.m. hour, a network spokeswoman told POLITICO.CNN apparently will not provide live coverage of Gov. Palin's speech, as it plans to air a documentary on Martin Luther King Jr. Saturday night as part of its Black History Month programming. But CNN will rebroadcast excerpts of the address and will dispatch a team of three correspondents and one political contributor to Nashville for convention coverage.
On Monday, convention organizers announced that they had credentialed Fox as well as CNN, Reuters TV and Pajamas Media, and was working with them to facilitate video coverage of select parts of the convention. But neither the organizers, nor the media outlets, announced specific coverage plans.
Update: MSNBC(!) and C-SPAN will both carry the speech live as well.
