D-FW stations split on what to lead with -- Barbara Bush's death or the Southwest Airlines tragedy
04/18/18 04:42 PM
Tuesday’s 10 p.m. D-FW newscasts reflected different approaches to handling two major local stories -- the death of Barbara Bush and a Southwest Airlines in-flight tragedy that left one person dead.
Fox4 and CBS11 led with Mrs. Bush’s passing while NBC5 and TEGNA8 topped their newscasts with the Southwest Airlines incident. How did they come to these decisions? Some answers, and the usual non-response from TEGNA8, are on our Dallas-Fort Worth TV page.
Also, check out our story on the unprecedented numbers of long-in-the-tooth TV series still populating the prime-time lineups of the Big Four broadcast networks. And for the most part, there’s still no end in sight to them.
Plus, in case you missed it, our review of HBO’s Elvis Presley: The Searcher is on the Network News & Reviews page.
And you also can read all about Netflix’s Lost in Space reboot. Our review is right here.
