Final January 6th Committee Hearing Scheduled for Monday, December 19

The January 6th Committee's final public hearing is scheduled for Monday, December 19, preempting all or part of the daytime soaps, “The Talk” and “GMA3."

The broadcast networks will again preempt all or part of their daytime lineups on Monday, December 19 as the January 6th Committee holds its final public meeting where they will vote on criminal referrals and on report approval.

Depending on the hearing’s length and follow-up coverage by news personalities, “The Bold and the Beautiful,” “General Hospital,” “GMA3: What You Need to Know” and “The Talk” are all likely to be preempted. “The Young and the Restless” will air an all-new episode for its first half-hour before the network transitions to a CBS News Special Report at 1:00 p.m. ET, anchored by “CBS Evening News” anchor and managing editor Norah O’Donnell. “Days of our Lives” will not be impacted as the series airs exclusively on Peacock, which, as a streaming service, does not preempt programming.

The final findings from the report are expected to be released two days later, on Wednesday, December 21.

According to multiple outlets, the Committee plans to announce criminal referrals to the Department of Justice against former President Donald J. Trump, including insurrection, obstruction of an official proceeding and conspiracy to defraud the federal government.

Coverage of the meeting begins at 1:00 p.m. ET across broadcast and the cable news networks, C-SPAN, PBS and YouTube, among others.

According to CBS, its coverage will find O’Donnell in-studio as she is joined by chief political analyst and senior national correspondent John Dickerson, chief election and campaign correspondent Robert Costa, chief Washington correspondent Major Garrett, chief national affairs and justice correspondent Jeff Pegues and congressional correspondent Scott MacFarlane. CBS News congressional correspondent Nikole Killion will report live from Capitol Hill.

Coverage of the meeting will air on the CBS Television Network and be available to stream on all CBS News platforms, including the CBS News app for mobile and connected TV. Viewers can also watch CBS News’ live coverage on CBSNews.com and the Network’s YouTube channel. The CBS News Streaming Network will begin coverage at 12:00 p.m., ET. with live reports from Washington, D.C. Uninterrupted coverage will be available at CBSNews.com/hearings.
