Advertising Age is reporting on the possible end of the nightly network newscast as another 1.2 million viewers in the US stopped tuning in last year. The article points out that the reason why people aren't tuning in at 6pm is because.... they are still at work. Hey networks, instead of constantly going off on red herrings like Terri Schiavo and WMD in Iraq, how about creating a frenzy over the fact that Americans work a shitload more hours than they used to, have less time off, and generally don't have the benefits and more relaxed lifestyles available in other industrialized nations? In the '70s and '80s I remember my parents always being home from work in time to watch Walter Cronkite and our local news - as a working adult, I've literally never had the opportunity to do that. Here's a chance for the network news to shed light on what is killing their viewership by 5+% per year.
