TV news faces diminishing audiences as pay-TV subscribers diminish. Media executives may want to consider a new digital news bundle.

ViacomCBS

For decades, TV news -- both local and national -- has been a major beneficiary of the pay-TV bundle. Relatively cheap to produce, live TV news served a public good and filled up air time. Broadcast channels CBS, NBC and ABC spend multiple hours each day airing local and national news. CNN, Fox News and MSNBC air news and related programming all day and night. The networks make billions of dollars by charging affiliate or retransmission fees to pay-TV providers and advertising time to brands.

"News doesn't have that many viewers, and there's nothing that's going to change that," Greenfield said. "News won't go away. Local news will exist. Cable news will exist. They'll just all be smaller businesses.", CNN, Fox News and MSNBC all drew about 1.3 million viewers during the day -- and January was a lively month for news, with the Capitol insurgence and presidential inauguration.

Media companies should focus on making standalone news operations profitable, said Christy Tanner, executive vice president and general manager of CBS News Digital.

Time to start blaming Biden and Bunny Harris.

We don’t need fake news. Let’s cut cable and clear them all out of our life. We don’t need propaganda.

'Et tu Brutus'!!!

They need a new foil now that Trump's out of the limelight. And the capitol rioters narrative will only last so long. Who do you think it'll be?

It’s comforting to see Trump’s toxic gas slowly evaporating into thin air and replaced with sensible objective discussions. POTUS demeanor and experience has a lot to do with this much needed new calm. It’s a blessing not to hear daily conspiracy theories!

It has no future, Mockingbird Media is dead and they know it.

HIRELINGS MAMMONISTS CONTINUE ON AMASSING WEALTH SPREADING FACTS INSTEAD OF ABSOLUTE TRUTH THAT SETS FREE !!!

Out of the news like:

They miss him already.

They will shrivel up and die. Or become propaganda creators for their chosen party...oh wait 🤭

Because “news” isn’t as profitable as lies and conspiracies.

Destroy alll MSN deep state cabal propaganda before they completely destroy people's abilities to critically think. FAKE NEWS PRESSTITUTES.

It doesn’t

They’re going to report actual news?
