FOX Says No to Prime Time Address for Obama

While ABC, NBC and ABC confirmed today they'll air Obama's address to Congress, Fox has just announced in a statement that the network won't preempt programming on Wednesday, according to a company statement.

It's not too surprising considering Fox aired "So You Think You Can Dance" instead of Obama's last prime-time news conference. The reality dance contest also airs at 8pm on Wednesday, the same time Obama addresses Congress.

While the broadcast network will not cut to the president, both Fox News and Fox Business Network will air the address in its entirety. - Politico
