I understand your point. It is the ads, and their revenue. In my case, I only watch local news, and only the few minutes of the weatherman. I mute or FF all commercials. TV networks are pretty much the devil IMO. Unfortunately JJ is an NBC affiliate, and I have about run out of patience. (both her and the network). One of these days I will cut the cord completely. (I'll still have NOAA and NWS)
