Are there actually still people watching network news? How in the world do they stay on the air? Has the sportsball money been subsidizing this garbage for the past decade? I’m sure a lot of silly women and queers watch the morning shows, but who actually watches the news on the networks? I guess they put a lot of videos online, but I still doubt many people watch them compared to the cable networks.
Mostly old people. Like my mother who passed away last November at the age of 92. She did not have cable. No internet. No smartphone. No computer in the house.
She watched the local news and then network news.
She still watched General Hospital every day @ 2pm.
I am 57. I watch the local WMUR ABC affiliate here in Manchester, NH. They mostly do local news, local sports(NH & Boston) and the weather. They mostly stay away from national politics. I watch them every morning before work. At 7 am GMA comes on. I listen to their teaser stories in the first minute and then usually change it to Fox & Friends.
The issue I personally have with watching Fox News is that they spend too much time on national politics. As much as I hate ABC they actually spent some time with the storm that hit the east coast the last two days. They talk about local sports teams. Including high school sports. Local school issues.
All Fox News is politics 24/7. It eventually is boring. Even for political news junkies like me.
