Wow those lower thirds look like ass.

Soon.

In typical CBS News fashion, they make one big step forward and then two steps backwards. Why the inconsistency between the weekday and weekend?

That's a very subjective statement. Just because you may not come home to watch the evening news, don't assume "nobody" else does either. That invalidates the rest of your comment.

KSAT posts full newscasts on their YouTube page after they air. WDIV posts the A block of their newscasts on their YouTube page. I’m not aware of other stations that do this

Personally, I would have switched it the other way around. Maybe they haven't gotten around to installing the new lower thirds yet.

TBN still runs non-commercial stations, and very, very few (we're talking about mainly small town stations where it's justified appropriately to support their ministries) religious stations and networks run any kind of advertising, even K-LOVE (who always converts their stations for the most part to non-coms upon acquisition); TBN is a craven outlier who has made it clear their priorities are not those of the founding Crouches (spreading the gospel in whatever ways they could), but just about becoming a race to the bottom regarding whose ministry gets the most money. And their ties to Merit Street, which is antithetical to every single part of the most basic of religions, show who they really are.

Some good news — the bill failed to make it out of committee. By the way, for those interested in a trade site for public media — current.org is a good source.

That's a start. Now they need to get on OTT platforms.

Just recently there was the first solo CBS Special Report, with Maurice DuBois.

It's Jimmy Fallon whose show cut back to four (new) episodes a week, not Kimmel.

Rabbit ears analog was way better. I preferred the static over scratching and glitching from digital.

I miss analog tv.

As the article suggests, cord cutting isn't the sole issue. Cable networks seem to be clueless that they've abandoned their niches in favor of saturated content: reality shows and sitcom reruns. MTV & VH 1 don't play music videos anymore, TLC lacks educational content in favor of Honey Boo-Boo, and umpteen channels show Friends. Not to mention the original content channels produce seems watered down compared to their old offerings: examples BET, Disney Channel, Nickelodeon, and Cartoon network. Audiences aren't that dumb. Add to that, the heavy handed political messaging in shows. Viewers can tell when something is poorly written or cookie cutter and will turn away. Broadcast tv is stale, it's current lineup of shows lack imagination compared to scripted streaming offerings. Finally, we all know the problem with cable news. Sensationalism, hyper partisanship and toxic journalism that seeks to get eyeballs and reactions from viewers, rather than educating and informing them. With these poor choices, it's no wonder audiences are turning away from television.

I blame the treatment of content as disposable as why TV is going down the drain.
