31. A crazy thought that has been theorized here on DU...

CBS could be out to shut down the news division. Maybe save 60 Minutes as a propganda tool. I think it still gets a decent audience. Not sure how affiliates would feel about that. CBS Mornings and Evening News ratings have been in the crapper FOREVER. Not sure how CBS Sunday Morning and Face the Nation do.

From my own perspective...there is only ONE program across all four networks (other than sports and live award shows) that I tune in for for network broadcast. And the other two programs I watch next day on streaming commercial free. That's it--across an entire year, just three programs, all of which are reality competition shows. Scripted anything? Zero. NADA from CBS, ABC, NBC, or FOX. anything like that I'm watching on a streaming platform with content exclusive to streaming.
