It is customary for television networks to broadcast the state of the union without interruption. But during President Clinton's 1997 speech, some broadcasts went to a split screen to carry the verdict in the civil trial of acquitted murder suspect OJ Simpson, Politico's Dylan Byers reports.
It appears there may be some pressure on TV networks tonight to split their SOTU coverage with breaking news out of California, where murder suspect Christopher Dorner, a former Los Angeles police officer, is believed to have been cornered in a cabin in the mountains.
The three TV channels Byers reached for comment, however – CNN, MSNBC and CBS – vowed not to break away from the president's speech.
CNN has been covering the apparent Dorner standoff for several hours without interruption.
