Hey, cable TV news channels! Want to get your viewers' numbers back up?
Try having different news on in the morning than what was on all day yesterday.
Aug. 3, for example, everybody covered Donnie all day and all evening. Today, the 9 a.m. shows are still chewing 45's cud. Seeking news online is annoying, but subjects vary.
Other things are happening around the USA as well as Planet Earth. Tell me about them.
Notice how the half-hour evening news shows touch on more than one topic?
Jeeze, I miss the original HLN ... Headline News.
Yeah, I'm old. And don't need 45's comeuppance re-litigated more than once per news cycle.
And put the names of your panelists on the screen always. I also change the channel when faced with four unfamiliar faces in a stack, no matter how interesting the subject.
