25-54 rating: NBC: 2.2/9 / ABC: 2.3/9 / CBS: 1.8/7 I meet that demographic, and I haven't watched network news FOR YEARS AND YEARS AND YEARS.
Garbage is what they peddle: utter and complete garbage.

Network news are those stations that you surf through on your way to cable news, i.e, Foxnews.

Ah... that explains that. Fortunately with my cable system, I'm given a "guide" that I can search through to pick the program I want to watch.
I usually hit Food Network or a rerun of MASH or Law and Order the time that network news comes on.

Assuming negligeable viewership under age 25, this means 75% or more of their viewers are 55 or older. Not a great demographic.

The evening network news broadcasts provide excellent information for us baby boomers. They provide somewhat objective information on hemorrhoid ointments and adult diapers. (At least it's more objective that the information that comes between the hemorrhoid and diaper information.)
