When my mom was a kid (back in Ye Olde 1960s), this would have seemed like an inordinate amount of news-for her, it was half an hour at 6pm and ten minutes at 10pm and then the station (there was only one station that did the news) played the National Anthem and went off the air until 6am, at which time you might get like. If you wanted more news than that, you read the newspaper. So unless you were watching all three stations, and picking the news every single time, the max amount of news you were going to get was like an hour and a half. ![]() One of the three stations also did a half-hour capper at 10pm. Anyway-you had a half hour of news at 8 or 9 am (depending on which station you watched), an hourlong program at noon in which half the program was stuff like “here are today’s beach closures and some recipes and also if you’re looking for stuff to do with the kids this weekend here are local promotions,” and half an hour at either 5, 5:30, or 6 (again, depending on which channel you watched). ![]() These corresponded to NBC, ABC, and CBS, but I don’t remember which one was which so don’t ask me. When I was a kid (back in Ye Olde 1990s), we had three major news stations in my town: Channel 12, Channel 24, and Channel 35. ![]()
