Where to watch the Democratic National Convention on TV, the internet and on streaming devices

The fourth and final night of the Democratic National Convention takes place Thursday, Aug. 20, and there are a number of ways to see the two-hour proceedings — including nominee Joe Biden’s acceptance speech.

The final night of the convention — being held over the internet due to COVID-19 — is set to run from 6 to 8 p.m. Pacific time (9 to 11 p.m. Eastern). Cable news networks CNN, C-SPAN and MSNBC will air both hours of the convention. PBS — Channel 50 in the Los Angeles and Orange County TV market — will also air both hours.

The broadcast TV networks — ABC, NBC and CBS — and the Fox News cable network are only covering the final hour, from 7 to 8 p.m. Pacific (10 to 11 p.m. Eastern).
