3 networks cut off President Bush before end of his news conference

NEW YORK (AP) -
A quick schedule shift by the White House enabled President George W.
Bush to get considerably wider television exposure than he would have
otherwise gotten for Thursday's prime-time news conference.
Three of the country's four biggest broadcasters gave the president a
quick hook, however, by cutting away to entertainment programming
before his session was finished.
The White House moved the news conference from 8:30 p.m. EDT to 8 p.m.
after realizing that CBS, Fox and likely NBC would not air it live.
ABC said all along it would cover the president fully.
