WTF? Why must CNN subject the rest of us to this crap? The channel is bad enough at the best of times but this week it sucks even more than usual.

I don't know if you can watch it fully live, but I believe virtually all programs are put up to watch online within an hour or so of broadcast.

I wish I got CNN in my city. They took 35 channels away last year including CNN. And raised the cost.

You can watch CSPAN on computer via TVU player.

I watch "Larry King Live" on CNN, and his idea of covering each convention by using only analysts and spokepersons from the "loyal opposition" party (ie: only Republican spinners commenting on the Democrat's Convention, and vice-versa) has the undesirable effect of filtering out or minimizing any positive messages put out by the convening party (aside from brief clips and a few pointed remarks made by the host...)
