ABC Plans 24-Hour Show On July 4th
The network plans to mark U.S. Independence Day with what may be the longest program it's ever done - a full 24 hour special marking America's birthday. Given the frosty relations between Canada and its southern neighbour, this may not attract a huge audience on this side of the border, but outside of a major news event, I can't recall any network ever devoting an entire broadcast day to a single show.
And of course, the Disney owned network will make sure to blow its own horn about its amusement park properties.

I would be surprised if CBS, NBC and FOX didn't do something similar or at least broadcast live all evening and overnight for the countdown to the 250th celebrations.

Going by the "This hour has 22 minutes" philosiphy these days in American commercial TV broadcasting, viewers will have a full 38 minutes to:
- Go to the washroom
- Grab a snack
- Go out and light a firework
- Wonder when inflation is going to stabilize
- Muse aloud as to what still could be lurking in those Epstein files
I know I can't wait.
