Exactly but I think it’s a greater majority of all people are getting information from the Internet. I cancelled cable over a year ago and now get everything I want from the Internet. Streaming movies, TV shows, music, news, and no commercials to deal with.
All of this is also accessible from a smart phone, tablet, or laptop which means I can tap into anything I want without being stuck at a TV set and I choose what I want to view or listen to when I want.
Initially I cancelled cable because times are tough and I needed to cut expenses but even if I could afford it now I’d never hook it back up.
On a final note, I don’t even use the Internet to visit any of the stations mentioned. These so called news stations don’t deliver news at all anymore. It’s like going to MTV to hear music. Much like MTV doesn’t deliver music anymore, these news stations don’t actually deliver the news. It’s all propaganda, twisted facts, outright lies, and a ton of drama.
I can't imagine how, although they borrow NBC's orginal work, so it's mostly just talent fees and they probably don't pay well.
Locally, the Gannet NBC affiliate in Phoenix is moving away from news on their main evening newscast. Main anchors work Sunday, rather than Friday (not a bad idea there), but promos for evening news are "relaxed, hip, we know you don't want all that bad news". Throwing in the towel. Fine by me. I haven't watched in 15 years anyway.
