Bad analogy - news was (almost) always a small part of the NBC and CBS schedules. In the glory days, the networks had a lot of bureaus around the world, and a sense that news was a public service, not just another half-hour to sell spots. I don't know if it's sad, but it's certainly odd to watch cable channels that were designed around the idea of 24 hours of news or weather or what-have-you available to tune into leaving their niches. -- TV or Not TV ....
