CNN Encourages Other Networks to Follow its Lead on Presidential Debates - Washington Post

Excerpt:
"While advocates wait and see if other television networks will lift copyright restrictions on presidential debate video, CNN is allowing unrestricted use of the video of its two upcoming debates.

The network's political director, Sam Feist, says his network didn't need any convincing from outside groups.

"We view presidential debates as really historic national events. These are events that help the voters decide who's going to be the next President of the United States," Feist said.

Feist added that the advent of broadband video and other online video options, "changes the approach the networks should have in usage rights.""
