On Tuesday night, anyone who turns their tv to a major network or a cable news outlet will be treated to this:
I am pleased to inform you that I will Address the Nation on the Humanitarian and National Security crisis on our Southern Border. Tuesday night at 9:00 P.M. Eastern.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 7, 2019
According to Bloomberg’s Jennifer Jacobs, the speech will be ubiquitous:
The networks have agreed to air Trump’s prime time Oval Office address. https://t.co/po17UihttW

At the moment, there doesn’t seem to be widespread confirmation that Jacobs is right, and that the major networks will air his address. Some sources claim they’re still deliberating.
UPDATE: Jacobs has deleted her tweet. As of now, Fox is the only major network to agree to air the speech. The rest are still deliberating.
The latest – CNN, Fox, Fox Biz have agreed to air Trump. Broadcast nets still deciding https://t.co/rx5bxVZISt
