I'm not sure we're going to keep them for long.
I don't know how long they can be all these shows if the revenue is shrinking.

And I don't just mean manpower, although that's been reduced to pretty much everybody in the business of broadcasting.
I think the days we've all come up on in the last generation where you have lots of choices for local news, for local sports, lots of choices for which anchor you want to watch or which story you want to see.
Those days are going just like newspapers have dried up.
I think the economic structure is a lot of these broadcasters are going to go.
Some will go extinct.
Some will just shrink.
Some will survive.
Good ones always survive, but not in the robust way we knew them many years ago.
