We know most Television, and Radio programs along with their hosts, live and die by ratings. Certainly is a cut-throat industry.
The following is from the american 60 minutes program that covers how competitive the news industry was 46 years ago including a sleazy late-night news programming.
KNXT-2 "60 Minutes" San Francisco TV Ratings War...
"60 MINUTES" CBS News Mike Wallace looks at the San Francisco TV News Race. In the early 70's many stations across the US where changing the TV News formats to make it more Tabloid or Sensational. Wallace went to all the main TV News broadcasters in the SF market KRON, KPIX, KGO (Kickers, Guts, Orgasm) , and watched how they where broadcasting the news. He questioned KPIX's News Director & CBS affiliate at the time on using Tabloid tactics on there broadcasts. His reaction is worth watching.
