Broadcasting & Cable offers a report on how Orlando TV news covered the Casey Anthony trial. There’s nothing you probably didn’t already know, but it does give you an outsider’s perspective on the wall-to-wall coverage that has dominated the O-Town airways.

But here’s one news nugget:

By some estimates, 60% of the TVs in DMA No. 19 have been tuned to trial coverage at any given time.  ”That’s unheard of,” says Robin Smythe, VP and GM at Bright House Networks’ Orlando channel News 13. “I thought those days were over.”

Orlando TV viewers didn’t see it — since the local stations were in wall-to-wall coverage — but three of the big four national networks broke into programming for the Casey Anthony trial verdict.

ABC News aired a special report from 2:15 to 2:24 p.m., anchored by George Stephanopoulos with legal expert Dan Abrams, The Hollywood Reporter said. Stephanopoulos noted that “jaws dropped” in the studio when the verdict was delivered.

CBS News did a pullback and ran a crawl while The Talk was airing live from Los Angeles. Co-host Julie Chen struggled with her emotions as she relayed information about the verdict, the Hollywood Reporter said. Co-host Holly Robinson Peete had to help her out. The full show video is posted here — go to the 17-minute mark to see the ladies’ reaction to the verdict.
