Ann Romney speech bumped for re-runs on three networks [View all]

Re-Runs of Castle, Hawaii Five-O, and a new Grimm will be played so they can have some viewer revenue.........LOL
















The RNC's plan to create a Romney "bookend effect" at next week's convention, with Ann speaking on Monday night to assure voters that the man accepting the nomination on Thursday isn't a robot, may be foiled by the major network's commitment to airing programs people will actually watch. The New York Times reports that NBC, CBS, and ABC don't intend to air any of the Republican National Convention on Monday night, with reruns of Castle, Hawaii Five-O, and a new Grimm trumping Ann's speech. Though it seems that the party should have known weeks ago that the networks wouldn't broadcast four full days of prime-time convention coverage, the Romney campaign was fuming. “I don’t think it’s the decision that Bill Paley would have made,” quipped a senior Romney adviser, underscoring the need for Ann to paint her husband as a guy people born after 1957 can relate to.
