Online NewsHour: Evening News -- Av Westin (2164 words) |
 | AV WESTIN: The evening news broadcasts on television today are quite a different animal than they were when they first went to a half an hour, which is sort of the modern era. |
| Just as network news, which used to be the El Dorado, the top of a mountain where everybody who wanted to get into the business fought their way through the wars of the local stations because they wanted to get to work for the network. |
| AV WESTIN: I think the evening news, at its length, became the flagship, because the owners of the networks, in those days, wanted to deliver to the public, at least once a day, something that was a payback for letting them make all that other money in the entertainment side. |
