ABC will air "Pushing Daisies" in its usual time period on Wednesday night -- not the Barack Obama ad.
The news ends a guessing game that's been going on for nearly a month.
The Obama campaign purchased a half hour of airtime on NBC, Fox and CBS, spending about $1 million per network. ABC was absent from the list when it was first reported Oct. 9 and the network has since remained silent about its programming intentions for the evening. With ratings for "Daisies" slipping, some have wondered whether the network would air "Daisies" as usual, air the Obama ad, or take the opportunity run something else entirely. It's not often a network has the major broadcast airwaves largely free of any competiting entertainment programming.
