But there's just one other piece of it that you should know.
From your side of the TV screen, you will mostly see changes in terms of who's in the anchor chair.
And actually, everybody who's going to be in anchor chairs from here on out are great colleagues and great at what they do.
And you are not going to be disappointed in who's on our air and what you're going to be seeing.
But one thing you cannot necessarily see is that the people who get our shows on the air, they're really being put through the ringer.
Dozens of producers and staffers, including some who are among the most experienced and most talented and most specialist producers in the building, are facing being laid off.
They're being invited to reapply for new jobs.
That has never happened at this scale in this way before when it comes to programming changes, presumably because it's not the right way to treat people and it's inefficient and it's unnecessary.
And it kind of drops the bottom out of whether or not people feel like this is a good place to work.
And so we don't generally do things that way.
But in the meantime, being put in this kind of limbo, the anxiety and the discombobulation is off the charts at a time when this job already is extra stressful and difficult.
It is not news for me to tell you that the press and freedom of the press are under attack in a way that is really...
It's a big deal for our country.
It's very visceral for us here.
I know that the business of the press is not an easy thing.
And I know that no job is forever.
But I think I'm safe in saying for all of us anchors who you know through the TV, please know that what pains us the most is not what happens to us.
It is what happens to our coworkers on whom we depend and who you don't necessarily know, but we respect and love them and depend on them.
And did I mention we respect them?
This is a difficult time in the news business, but it does not need to be this difficult.
