I was watching CBS coverage of golf, thinking about Reagan's probably imminent death. I flipped on to ABC, and they said that, indeed, Reagan had died.

I flipped back to CBS, thenm to NBC, then to CNN, MSNBC, and Fox News. For a good few minutes after ABC came on, they had nothing. Why was it that, for a few moments, ABC was the only one to have special coverage?

Then, when CBS and NBC wenmt on, they stayed on for just a short while while ABC stayed on until 8:00. NBC and CBS had their own tributes later, but they were only an hour long.

Also, I figured they'd be on for several hours, perhaps late into the night, especially for someone like Reagan.

Oh, BTW, guess who had a ship named after him christened today? Jimmy Carter.
