That will probably be contagious and there'll be massive layoffs all over affiliate TV because as streaming gets better and broadcast becomes more and more inconvenient to switch over to... we'll be seeing this decade be the historic one. The traditional networks are finding other ways to get people to watch besides OTA broadcasting. And as local TV cuts staff, well just how many weather segments do we need to see between 5 an 7pm, sometimes even starting at 4pm? Especially in Spectrum markets where Channel 1 runs better news that the affiliates do because they fill so much of their time with news releases that fill time but affect soo few viewers. I'm surprised to see how many people I run into who tell me they don't watch much TV anymore, other than sports and movies.
