At least one of the big cable news networks will cover Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s campaign event live as the Fox News GOP debate unfolds without him: CNN.

CNN reported that in addition to that network’s live coverage, One America News and C-Span planned to air the event in its entirety. The Blaze planned to offer special coverage of the event, while MSNBC declined to comment to CNN.

The same networks did not immediately return TPM’s request for comment.

Trump vowed to hold his own event instead of attending the debate after Fox News released a scathing statement in response to Trump’s concerns about moderator Megyn Kelly.
