    Jan. 6 committee gets a prime-time spotlight. Will people watch?

    Protesters gather storm the Capitol and halt a joint session of the 117th Congress on Wednesday, Jan. 6, 2021, in Washington, DC.

    It's showtime for the Jan. 6 House select committee.

    For the last year, the group has been hearing testimony on the 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol and the involvement of then-President Donald Trump as an alleged instigator determined to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

    On Thursday, the findings will get a prime-time TV platform, a rarity for such proceedings, with three broadcast networks, the Fox-owned TV stations, several cable networks and a myriad of streaming outlets presenting the opening hours.

    Even the Watergate hearings in 1973 rarely got a prime-time platform. ABC, CBS and NBC rotated daytime coverage in response to viewer complaints that provided gavel-to-gavel coverage.
