So have some of the main news anchors at ABC, NBC, and CBS been forced to cut their weekends short 2 weekends in a row now?

I hope they got overtime pay - I know I wouldn't want to have to work two 6-day weeks in a row...

They are paid millions of dollars. I think they can afford to work when breaking news strikes.

Perhaps. But from experience, when you love/are passionate about the field, coming in on the weekend (once in a while) for historic events can be more exciting than a chore. It gave me serious FOMO on an off day to see huge breaking news and not being there to cover it.

 

But that's just me.

And they can get compensatory days. Maybe it’s multiple 6-day weeks. So be it. Maybe this weekend will be blissfully uneventful. But they want some random extra day somewhere, they can get that.
