    I mean, the Trump campaign would need to agree with that and agree to keep it a secret along with them.

      Trump would have negotiated to have it live; there's no reason he'd want the networks to have time to fact check for the broadcast.

        ...But...there's NO advantage to the Trump campaign agreeing with that. They want voters to see 90 minutes of Biden being the sleepiest man alive, so they'd never agree and they'd probably make a scandal of the Biden campaign even asking. So, like, they can't just do that.

        Not to mention CNN would also have to agree, and everyone would have to be sure there would be no leaks of this big secret that it was recorded ahead of time, which is impossible. There's just no way to do it.
