True. Broadcast TV news audiences have declined precipitously.

That chart’s just a little misleading as it begins in 1970; Huntley-Brinkley ruled the roost during most of the 1960’s. The real story in that chart lies in the rise of ABC News, and the decline of CBS with “Gunga Dan.”

I’m old enough to remember Huntley and Brinkley. And Uncle Walter. I don’t think ABC really started to get off the ground until Frank Reynolds and Peter Jennings springs to mind. I still remember Jennings’ safari suits.
