Overall TV viewership is up...way up! OTT, streaming , nteflix, slapface, tablets, smartphones.... the networks get pieces of it...nobody is hurting. Trust me... It's just shifted, and the chase is on.

WVUE/Channel 8 [then ABC] 1983/1986

I know that, at least based on opinions I've seen here, some love him and some hate him, but I did want to point out that Charlotte media columnist Mark Washburn is leaving the Observer. Hopefully they will still cover ratings and local comings and goings. http://businessnc.com/charlotte-observer-taps-new-editor-amid-media-industry-turbulence/

Thames Television; London, UK; 1980 -- a crash on the London Underground is the lead story:

WIVB in Buffalo has brought back the sportscast on the 6pm news after 2 year absence.

It happened back in 2013. There were four attackers two 15 and two 16. Edit: It's probably completely unrelated and just a random drunk on the street. But it still need to be taken seriously. This is a reason why I think constant social media is crazy — especially if the reporter or photojournalist identifies where they currently are and are going live. The live truck, camera and lights already bring out the local crazies but social media brings it to the world. I feel the same way when a reporter or anyone in particular posts a picture of them on vacation and how long they're gone. It's an invitation to be robbed. I'm still upset that this happened and hope the suspects are caught. But sadly I think it may not be a high priority.
