How to Broadcast the 2020 State of the Union Message
President Trump is set to deliver his State of the Union message on Tuesday night ahead of the joint meeting of Congress on Tuesday night.
This year’s annual message is a bit special given that half of this room, the House of Representatives, has already impeached the president. The Senate is expected to acquit Trump over the impeachment later this week, likely Wednesday, after the appeal takes place.
Despite all this, Trump will not be the only spotlight on Tuesday. Democratic women are expected to resubmit their coordinated white outfits to show solidarity with women during the speech, and there are definitely at least a handful of lawmakers who choose to boycott the protest entirely.
This year, the conversion is due at 8:00 pm ET / 5:00 pm PT. Given its importance, you have a variety of viewing options.
Most major networks such as CBS, NBC and FOX will show the address in real time and offer comments both before and after the event. If you have a television, the easiest way to find out the address is to tune in with a cable subscription or digital antenna. Telemundo will also broadcast the address.
If you don’t have a TV or will be away from it while performing, you also have quite a few options when it comes to streaming.
CNN plans to offer live coverage of the performance on its homepage, as well as on CNN’s iOS and Android apps, as well as Apple TV, Roku, Amazon Fire, and Android TV. Unlike other programs on the network, viewing the status of the Union does not require a cable entry and will be available for everyone to view.
The White House also plans to broadcast the entire speech on YouTube , where you can watch it in full without comment on any of the news networks. You can also check it through the built-in player below:
And given that the address will be on most major networks, you can catch it on literally any streaming service you want. AT&T TV Now, Hulu with Live TV, YouTube TV, fubo TV, and Sling offer multiple channels that will be streaming.
If you have to skip today’s talk, it will likely also be available in the morning on White House YouTube, as well as on other platforms, as well as what promises to be more commentary on what Trump has to say.
