In a conference call with reporters yesterday, Ricky Kirshner and Mark Squier, Executive Producers for the Convention, said heightened voter enthusiasm this election cycle has translated into higher ratings for debates and election night coverage. And the television networks are taking note.

"If you check the ratings for the debates on CNN, MSNBC and Fox, it's been through the roof, it's been unprecedented," Kirshner said. "So, clearly the major networks see the excitement, and they want to cover the convention this year."

Kirschner and Squier promised to “tear down the walls” of the Pepsi Center and offer a more interactive Convention experience for TV and online viewers.
