In a notable decision, ABC, CNN, and NBC have announced they will not pre-empt their regular programming for President Trump's speech scheduled for 9 p.m. on July 16, 2026.
This decision means viewers of these networks will not see the president's remarks live, as they will continue with their usual programming.
In contrast, Fox News has confirmed that it will broadcast the speech live, providing viewers with the opportunity to watch the address as it happens.
