CNN turned 40 one week ago. My cable company wasn't there from the beginning. It started carrying the network a couple of years later.
The quality wasn't that of ABC, NBC, and CBS-- but it was solid, and IT WAS ALWAYS THERE! Yes, there were breaks for a couple of talk shows. There was a really good sportscast at 11:30 PM and 2:30 AM. Other than that, it was all news. All serious news. No political agenda.
How I miss that!
And then, a couple of years later, there was CNN2, later called "Headline News." It was news in half hour cycles, and it too was very, very good.
How I miss that!
There is an opening for serious, hard news, around the clock that you can drive a truck through. The networks now have streaming services, attempting to fill the void. It isn't the same.
If I could turn back time...
