CBS, NBC and ABC were not asked to air President Barack Obama’s primetime announcement on immigration policy, CNN media reporter Brian Stelter reported Wednesday.

Univision however, will air the speech, as will cable news channels.

Stelter suggested this meant maybe the president is “not going all the way” in his announcement.

“Maybe he’s trying to speak to a more niche audience,” the reporter said

Just reported @CNN TV: ABC, NBC, CBS won't be airing Obama's prime time immigration speech Thurs. But @JakeTapper notes that Univision WILL.

Important context here: sometimes the White House explicitly requests time from the broadcast networks -- this time it did not.
