That is a question for the television networks, because the fact is the way we do this on a White House pool basis means that the signal that is transmitted, the actual broadcast, belongs to the White House pool. They are putting money into each debate in the form of the cameras, the cameramen, the production truck, and the transmission of the signal. That cost is shared by members of the pool, so it is entirely their decision as to whether they would waive even a nominal fee and say that it could be made available to anybody with no charge. Needless to say, social media companies have been pushing for some time to say that they are owed that, but that is a decision for the members of the White House television pool to make.
