ABC News to provide 4 hours each night of live coverage of DNC and RNC with special reports also!

Stephanopolous and Muir at the helm with Lindsey Davis. It'll be great for the American people to get such an extraordinarily extensive look at their nation's governance on prime time broadcast TV for the first time in a generation! Conventions are back big time baby!

This will be a golden opportunity for Joe to seal the deal as likely 100 million will watch such extensive prime time broadcast coverage!

The network’s coverage of the Democratic National Convention on Monday, Aug.17 – Thursday, Aug. 20, and the Republican National Convention on Monday, Aug. 24-Thursday, Aug. 27 will run from 7-11 p.m. ET on ABC each week.

There will also be prime time coverage each day beginning at 7 p.m. ET on ABC’s streaming news service, ABC News Live.

ABC News chief anchor George Stephanopoulos will lead convention coverage from New York, and be joined by World News Tonight anchor David Muir, and ABC News Live anchor Linsey Davis on each of the four nights of both conventions with special reports throughout every day.

ABC News senior ep of special events Marc Burstein will produce coverage of both conventions.

Joining Stephanopoulos, Muir and Davis during both weeks are Nightline anchor Byron Pitts, This Week with George Stephanopoulos co-anchor and chief global affairs correspondent Martha Raddatz, This Week with George Stephanopoulos co-anchor and chief White House correspondent Jonathan Karl, chief justice correspondent Pierre Thomas, World News Tonight Weekend anchor and chief national affairs correspondent Tom Llamas, senior White House correspondent Cecilia Vega, senior national correspondent Terry Moran,
