How to Watch the January 6 Hearings on TV
After more than a year of public debate, the House committee’s investigation of the January 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol is coming to television in public hearings beginning Thursday, June 9.
Over the past several months, the committee has interviewed numerous eyewitnesses and sifted through thousands of hours of footage and pages of documents that will be focused on in the hearing. This will be the first in a series of proceedings that will air on primetime television throughout June.
So, how can you tune into the event? Below we’re breaking down when and where you can watch the sessions.

When and Where to Watch
The first hearing airs at 8/7c on Thursday, June 9 with the session available on ABC, NBC, CBS, and PBS. Additionally, people can tune in on The New York Times live stream at nytimes.com.
What to Expect
The hearings will cover a timeline of the riot beginning with the 2020 election and extending through the riot and its aftermath on the Capitol in January 2021. Democrats have stated there’s evidence suggesting that former president Donald J. Trump and his allies incited the riot in order to prevent congress from certifying the 2020 election results. The hearing will call witnesses and examine the involvement of far-right groups like the Proud Boys.
When Are the Other Hearings?
Hearing are expected to proceed throughout the month beginning with the next one on Monday, June 13 at 10 a.m./9 a.m. c. The panel has yet to announce additional times and dates, but there will be several more before the trial is over.

I always hope something revealed about the Orange Man would have less people voting for him. I guess we'll see in 2024...

Considering the importance of the hearings, it seems as if the people in charge are trying to sabotage their own efforts. Thursday evening, and then Monday 9 a.m. next week and then WHEN? And unfortunately, although I'm sure he is a wonderful Congressional Representative, slow as molasses, Bennie Thompson isn't exactly a top notch mediator. Trying to get the average person to watch at all, is probably a tough job in the first place.

Why don’t you focus on the future instead of the past. It’s all a ply to detract from the mid terms where Dems are going to be handed their —-

I'm debating skipping watching these, and instead, find something less theatrical to watch. Like 1776, Hamilton, or 12 Angry Men. 😉

Sounds like you are either humor-challenged or need to learn about what a smiley face MEANS on any post. Judgemental much? You must be a LOT of fun.
