1. The Republican National Convention gets underway in Cleveland today, with Donald Trump as its star.
A speech by Melania Trump kicks off opening night, which may also include an appearance from her husband.
Overall, viewership for the national political conventions dropped 26 percent after 1968, but with Trump as the presumptive republican nominee, the unpredictable will return to the convention floor.
Trump brought record numbers of viewers to the GOP primary debates, and it's likely he'll have a similar effect during convention.
