How to watch military parade on Trump's birthday
The massive military parade to mark the U.S. Army's 250th anniversary will roll through Washington, D.C., Saturday — coinciding with President Trump's 79th birthday. The parade is scheduled to begin at 6:30 p.m. local time, following a day-long festival on the National Mall. Organizers have predicted it will last about 90 minutes. Rain and thunderstorms are in the forecast for the nation's capital on Saturday, but Trump assured potential parade-goers Thursday that the festivities will take place rain or shine. 'I hope the weather's OK, but actually if it's not, that brings you good luck, and that's OK, too,' the president said during this week's congressional picnic at the White House. 'It doesn't affect the tanks at all; it doesn't affect the soldiers — they're used to it, they're tough.' About 6,700 soldiers dressed in historic and modern uniforms will march in the parade, and the military has released a detailed roster of equipment that will take part, including tanks, artillery weapons, tactical vehicles and aircraft. Those who can't make it in person — or would prefer to stay out of the inclement weather — will have several opportunities to watch the event on TV and online. The parade will be livestreamed through the Army's social media platforms, including YouTube and Facebook. The Hill also will live stream the parade on this website. The Hill's sister network NewsNation has planned special live coverage for the Army's birthday celebration, with reporting from events beginning at 7 a.m. NewsNation's parade special 'Tribute to America' will begin at 6 p.m. Fox News Channel is slated to air special coverage of the parade 6-10 p.m. Most major networks have opted to feature the event on their news-dedicated streaming channels. ABC News Live, CBS News 24/7 and NBC News Now will carry the networks' parade coverage live. Those who want to watch in person can catch the parade along Constitution Avenue NW from its parade's starting point at 23rd St. NW to its end near 15th St. NW at the Ellipse, south of the White House. The military has recommended the Washington Monument Grounds another viewing point off the direct route. Parade viewing entry is scheduled to begin at 2 p.m., and pre-registration is suggested because of the high level of security anticipated.

CBS will air its local news and other programs like 'Elsbeth' and '48 Hours' after the parade. Fox will skip the parade and show baseball, Yankees vs Red Sox or Padres vs Diamondbacks. Trump's White House doesn't have a strong bond with big TV networks. He's sued ABC and CBS recently, according to reports.

Actually, the jury found him liable for sexual abuse, not rape, and Trump denied it. CBS's parent company is fighting a lawsuit from Trump about a Kamala Harris interview on '60 Minutes', as mentioned in the report by Variety. This lawsuit might be used to slow down CBS's important merger with Skydance Media. MSNBC will only give light coverage and let anchor Ali Velshi cover 'news as it happens.' CNN didn't share any info on their parade coverage plans, as per reports. FAQs Q1. Why won't ABC, CBS, and NBC show Trump's parade fully?
