ABC to Offer 24-Hour News Until Election

ABC News will run a 24-hour news service available on digital cable, the Internet and some cell phones through Election Day in what may be a precursor to a service offered full time in the future, reports the Associated Press.

"The venture, "ABC News Now", begins operating at noon Monday, presenting gavel-to-gavel coverage of the Democratic National Convention, anchored by Peter Jennings.

The service will offer national and local news highlights and rerun material — "Nightline" the next day, for instance.

Sprint PCS Vision phone customers will also be able to see "ABC News Now" for $9.95 a month. "
