    Lots of ads

    Edit: also tv news is also a new concept.

        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.

            Again, that was not my point.

                Why are you so stuck on the tv thing?

                    I mentioned it as a sidenote. It’s not important, forget about it.

                    Either way it’s subjective and honestly 80 years is not that long, but who cares 🤷

        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.
