Say night-night to the nightly news

The National Network Evening news that is.

Apparently, since all our news anchor icons are retiring or getting sick, and viewership is down, some experts are thinking that we may be at the end of the eveneing news; that or it's going to radically change.

I don't care if we don't have Tom Brokaw or Dan Rather as the face of our news. Who really watches the news because of the face anyway. Some may choose one station over another for that reason, but they don't decide whether to watch it all or not based off that reason.

Ok, and viewership is down, and while the icons are too, they think this might be a good time to change or do away with it. The reason? Because people don't get their news the same way or at the same time anymore. Internet, 24/7 cable news? Of course, if you have those means, you're going to use them, but I still like to sit down to dinner and watch the evening news. They do it differently

The evenening news may not be good for major stories, but I really like the assignment stories no other news stations don't cover. Those are worth watching. And so are the reports they have on the White House or Congress. They give a more in depth look into things, as opposed to the 6 second soundbytes cnn offers.

Icons or not, I'll still watch the evening news. I like what they bring.
