          Ads have existed for an extremely long time.

          And most news has cost money since forever.

          Tv news is a relatively new development and TV news is entirely founded by ads and as a way to drive viewers to a channel to keep them for other programmes.

          Relatively new compared to news. Either way it doesn’t matter, my point was that it’s funded by ads.

          Tv news also drives viewers to a channel which is probably the main purpose of it.
