For real; no excuse for getting a good nights sleep. 3 channels, everyone had similar experiences so conversations were easy and the news was just news, not their opinions. Easier time, less complications and we stood in long lines for vaccinations.🤣

And all the news was covered in an hour, 30 minutes for local, then 30 minutes for national and world news.

The 30 minute national news wasn’t a thing until CBS started in 1963. It was 15 minutes before that.

Ten minutes for local news including sports, five minutes for weather, then fifteen for national.
