Oh no!
Or yay!
No idea. Who watches these shows?

Yeah, I think that’s the problem. They need younger viewership. I’d say the only way to get it is to change their format completely. The current model is aging out.

Not sure how a business model of needing 24 hours of news is going to modernize unless they start re-playing TikToks or just re-airing their actually incredible documentaries series.

That’s the thing. I don’t think we need 24 hours of just talking about the news and politics. You hit the nail on the head with the documentaries. They need more original content for one.

People at the doctor's office that get too shit of a mobile signal on their phone in the waiting room to look at anything else.

That and Gen X, boomer democrats that don't think Bush Jr. is that bad of a guy.

Dear members and casual readers of this community:

I was wondering if these recent posts regarding the news channels are appropriate to this community. Yes, technically, the posts are about TV but I feel these posts are more following the letter and not the spirit of Movies and TV Shows.

Since it is ultimately you, the "readership," that decides what you want to see here at lemmy.film I put it to you: are you interested in news channel postings? Do you think posts regarding news channels belong here at [email protected]?

I agree with you, this post would be a better fit in a news community or a CNN community, if there is one. This community is more about entertainment/documentary programs rather than news and news-related.

Yeah I'm subscribed to news and politics magazines for those. Doesn't really feel like it belongs here imo.
