we're not talking about enforcing rules. the topic here is why legacy media is failing. i've expressed my opinion as to the cause and the proper solution. i'm not forcing them to do it; they are free to continue to go broke on their own. i think viewers would flock to a 1-hour straight news broadcast, because no one in the world does straight news anymore. and where the viewers go, the advertisers follow. here's how i would fix msnbc > give me the 6pm-7pm hour > the first 1/2 hour is dedicated to news from the states > the second 1/2 hour is national news, competing with the broadcast national news programs > the first 1/2 (state news) is made up of stories plucked from the nbc affiliates across the country, on local or regional stories > one minute intro, 8 minutes per ad = stories from 21 states per night @ 1 minute each
