Despite campaign’s launch of Facebook counter-programming.

Donald Trump claims that is not interested in creating a “Trump TV” network following next month’s general election, despite reports suggesting otherwise. “No, I have no interest in Trump TV,” the Republican nominee said Tuesday on Cincinnati’s 700WLW. “I hear it all over the place. I have a tremendous fan base, we have a tremendous base. We have the most incredible people, but I just don't have any interest in that. I have one interest, that's on November 8.” Despite his claimed disinterest in such an idea, his campaign has begun airing live-streamed counter-programming on Facebook—complete with a TV news-like crawl at the bottom of the screen. The video effort is seen as a soft launch of what would become a Trump TV network. “I have no interest in beyond that, I have interest in making America great again,” the real-estate mogul reiterated in his radio interview, however.
