  Online NewsHour: Evening News -- Av Westin
AV WESTIN: The evening news broadcasts on television today are quite a different animal than they were when they first went to a half an hour, which is sort of the modern era.
Just as network news, which used to be the El Dorado, the top of a mountain where everybody who wanted to get into the business fought their way through the wars of the local stations because they wanted to get to work for the network.
AV WESTIN: I think the evening news, at its length, became the flagship, because the owners of the networks, in those days, wanted to deliver to the public, at least once a day, something that was a payback for letting them make all that other money in the entertainment side.

With CBS Evening News falling further and further behind in the ratings, I think it's safe to say that the sharks are about to devour this program.
Even though I don't care for CNN that much and Fox make no bones about where it is coming from, anything is better than watching this asshole who is a mouthpiece for the Democratic Party.
Yes,the CBS Evening News jumped the shark long ago and we are all the poorer for it.That's what happens when anchors sell out their reputation for another 20 pieces of silver.

The fact is, the evening news has been in a ratings freefall for over two decades and there is absolutely no reason to believe Couric or anyone else can convince us to go back to the good-old-days of serious-voiced oracles rationing out the day’s news in 3-minute bundles.
The fact that readership of newspapers is down and the viewing of news on television is down - in the network form, that is - with that, we should consider that democracy is in danger,” he said.
The explosion of news is a great thing for democracy because it increases the amount of information and opinion from which to base one’s own view of the world.

NEW YORK (AP) — As Brian Williams completes his first year as anchor this week, he can take comfort that NBC's Nightly News has lately widened its lead in the ratings.

Meanwhile, CBS has been on the hunt for a new evening news format for more than a year since Rather announced he was stepping down.

In reaching for the former morning-show host, CBS News, home to journalism legends such as Edward R. Murrow and Walter Cronkite, is reaching for "more sizzle and less steak, all in the hopes of reaching the ever-elusive younger demographic," he adds.
Even so, others note that media oversaturation means the evening newscast is not the premier slot it once was.
While 25 million or so people still watch the evening news - a significant demographic - that figure is only declining, in much the same way as readers of an evening edition of a daily newspaper did 40 years ago.
