Hopefully this will finally sink CNN.

I was going to say they'll always have airports, but I think air travel will be down as well...

If that is the case, we will see cheaper programming like movies that are more than 20 min years old, classic TV shows, and lots and lots of re-runs.

I hope many outlets of the Ministry of Propaganda go bankrupt.

CNN is a tiny part of AT&T Warner Media. They don’t need it to generate revenue. It’s just a way to donate to the DNC.

Sounds good to me. The model needs to change anyway as far as pay TV. The internet is shifting the paradigm.

A good beginning.

Why would any sane corporate board member waste valuable $’s in ads that pay for fake news and po’s at least 40% of their potential customers.

I finally quit cable because the constant perversion felt like I was rolling around in the gutter every time I turned something on.

"No advertisers" pretty much means "no TV".

I saw Jesse Watters last night and he said something that shocked me.

He said that The 5, has a bigger audience than Sunday's 'Meet dePressed' with F. Chuck Todd.

A nightly cable semi-news, semi-comedy show out draws the "most watched" Sunday news talking head show.

That means, that for all the hype about 'meet depressed', it doesn't draw flies.

Who is advertising on those low rated shows, and why?

ESPN is the largest cost for cable and dish providers. Call your provider and ask for a price cut since your not getting any live sports on ESPN/Disney. Let’s put the hurt on ESPN.

I’ve been watching the 1959 to 1961 series “The Rebel” on YouTube. The nostalgia channels would likely not have this title on (having to do their silly quotas of Murder, She Wrote or The Golden Girls or Cheers), but some very good episodes with some familiar faces as guest stars (watched one on Saturday that had Claude Akins in it).

Advertising work is fundamentally parasitic, drawing resources from food in stomach, clothes on back, shelter over head. Pushing obsessive consumption of unnecessary items, by playing on a wide array of vices., and warped responses to “beauty” and pleasure.

OK, comrade.

So they are going to cut down from 22 minutes of ads per hour?

Maybe if the commercials weren’t so bombastic & preachy.
