Do you remember when O J Simpson was driving along the freeway and every channel - not just the news programs - switched from their regular schedule to helicopter footage of the Bronco?
Then they showed it again. And again. And again.
Yawn!
Only when people started complaining that they had had enough did a few brave stations decide to show something else.
I agree with AJ - there is no need for every station to cover just the one event 24/7, however important that event is. If that's all I want to know about, I can stick to the Weather Channel or go on-line.
