Election Connection

JULY 2016

ith the Republican and Democratic National Conventions taking place this month, and the Presidential elections just a few months away, election season is in full swing. To help guide you along the election trail,

W

we’re pleased to bring you a comprehensive schedule of news, public affairs, documentary, and digital programming from PBS and local stations.

Signature series like PBS NewsHour, PBS NewsHour Weekend, and Charlie Rose, as well as our award-winning local series

MetroFocus, will provide thoughtful coverage and investigative reports, news and analysis from multiple perspectives, and stories of local and national interest.

One of the unique highlights of PBS Election 2016 is a partnership between PBS and NPR that allows both organizations to share news content on their respective websites. And for the first time, NPR and PBS NewsHour will join forces to report on the Democratic and Republican National Conventions. PBS NewsHour will provide coverage of the 2016 Republican National

Convention (Monday, July 18 – Thursday, July 21) in Cleveland and the 2016 Democratic National

Convention (Monday, July 25 – Thursday, July 28) in Philadelphia during its normal 6pm weekday timeslot. Gwen Ifill and Judy Woodruff will co-anchor for PBS NewsHour in partnership with NPR.

On the local front, join MetroFocus hosts Rafael Pi Roman, Jenna Flanigan, and Jack Ford for convention reports, interviews with newsmakers, and timely stories on key issues affecting voters in the metropolitan region and across the country, every weeknight at 5pm.

As the presidential race continues on, viewers will gain access to America’s most recognizable residence — symbol of national history and icon of democracy —

in The White House: Inside Story (Sunday July 24 at

9pm). From the Oval Office to the family dining room, through national crises and world wars, the 200-year story of the White House is the story of America itself.
