It didn’t look recorded. It looked like he stayed around after the credits ended to introduce the repeat episode.

Tonight on PA

As @KamalaHarris barnstorms swing states and takes the lead in polls, @realDonaldTrump has mostly stayed home. What's his strategy? We ask Republican political pro @DougHeye. Plus Malarkey about crowd sizes, factchecking "Tampon Tim" and did Harris call Trump a "Mutha-f##ka" ? pic.twitter.com/w5K5pi9nKc

Was anyone else here watching PA Fireside Chat (Friday 23 August) via the live ABC News Channel on iView?

At 8pm that stream went into its usual news mode instead of showing PA:FC. I grabbed the remote and hit the over the air version of the News Channel. It was correctly showing PA:FC.

When I went back to the iView version it had begun showing PA as well. Did anyone notice this?

The reason I wanted to watch it via iView was to get the show in (sort of) HD.

Seemed ok to me. There were some promos including for ABC TV shows for a couple of minutes at the end of rolling news. PA started at 8:00pm as usual. There was no clock for about 30 seconds.

Thanks TV.Cynic. Do you record ABC News Channel from the iView stream?

Julia Baird filled in for Chas on tonight’s show.

The worm has turned - RFK Jr suspends his presidential run and endorses Trump. Also, as Kamala basks in post-DNC glory, we talk to a DNC delegate who isn’t happy. John and Julia are joined by Asma Mohammed of the ‘Uncommitted Voter Movement’.

On tonight’s show it was revealed that ABC could only show very short extracts from the debate because, unlike previous debates, the content is owned by ABC America.
