There's also the matter of an audience. Trump probably chose 4 p.m. Eastern as being a time when "real" games are on for the first time this fall, and he knew there would be a much larger audience than there would be on a non-football Saturday afternoon. However, CBS will probably do nothing more than run the ticker since they don't like Trump, and the less exposure they give him, the better, unless they can spin it into something negative.

Which ever way they decide to do it, we'll live through it. Anyway, the news broke last night as to who the nominee will be so there's not really a surprise element any longer. Unless he's thrown that tidbit out there as a diversion and it's somebody else.
