PBS NewsHour combines forces with NPR News to co-produce and broadcast joint, live, prime time coverage of the 2016 Republican National Convention July 18 – 21 in Cleveland  on PBS and NPR stations and across PBS NewsHour, PBS, NPR and member stations’ digital sites.

The partnership between PBS NewsHour and NPR is a first-time collaboration for the two organizations at the conventions and will offer the most in-depth coverage to be found on television, radio and digital.
 
Prime time coverage starts on WKAR-TV at 8 p.m. each night of the conventions and is scheduled through 11 p.m. Coverage will be co-anchored by Gwen Ifill and Judy Woodruff.

At both conventions, NPR host Rachel Martin will serve as the podium reporter with NPR’s Susan Davis as the floor reporter.
