CSTV has jumped into action quickly. In early November, CSTV reached an agreement with Columbia Broadcasting Service (CBS) Sports for the rights to produce and televise nine NCAA Championship events...
...good mystery. The big one this fall is, Where have the young male viewers gone? While the prime-time audience has dropped overall, the falloff has been most drastic in the coveted 18-to-34-year-old male demographic: down 16% in prime time at ABC, 19% at CBS and 21% at NBC, according to figures from Nielsen Media Research.

A TV cameraman inside the book depository had to throw his tape out the window so it could be rushed to the studio, and Walter Cronkite recalls that CBS had no camera ready in its newsroom for his reading of the bulletin. This is an intriguing piece for news junkies, but it's curious that CNN should air it, since the dignity of men like Cronkite (and they are all men here) is a rebuke to today's 24-hour...
