...Hope. Your likes may not be long for this world. All three networks seem to be moving inexorably toward a prime-time news hour nearly every night of the week (usually at 10 p.m., 9 p.m. in the middle of the country), which could combine an evening-news-style wrap-up of the day's events with the kind of feature segments and investigative pieces that currently fill the magazine shows.
