I remember that this was when ABC Moved Roger Grimsby from KGO-TV San Francisco in the late 1960's to WABC-TV where Al Primo introduced happy talk to NYC Audiences for Eyewitness News/ Newsscene and Russ Coughlin the then KGO-TV GM put Van Amburg and Jerry Jensen to take over Roger Grimsby's San Francisco seat to do the same thing in San Francisco until the 1980's.

As of this posting there is a measles scare but that is not getting national attention its only being covered in the cities where the Measles scare took place.

In the case of Samoa its being covered in international outlets.

Even Mass Shootings don't get national attention in some cases. The only time the Cable News/talk channels talk about mass shootings is whenever the NRA leaders have ranted on the campaign trail though. Yes there was a mass shooting in Chicago but it was wall to wall only in Illinois though.
I'm hearing a lot about measles.
Hear, Hear! Not trying to sound British, but I am a fan of the BBC, which actually provides world-wide news coverage.
Good luck. The new prime minister is looking to target BBC funding:

Yes at the time of post they were on local news outlets and not national though.
The Voice of America still covers world news as well. Its shortwave service may be 1/10 of what it used to be, but their website is excellent, and offers audio and video feeds.

CNN, MSNBC, and Fox News will focus on Mike Pence if Trump is removed? Or whovever is elected in 2020 and start making speculations on the 2022 and 2024 elections before the rest of the USA knows this??
I don't watch local news. I read the newspaper, I hear Mike Moss on America's Best Music (though not for the next week or so as I find places to listen to Christmas music) and there is "Wait! Wait!" on NPR.

As of this posting there is a reported mass shooting in the Dallas area but so far the coverage is wall to wall in Texas. If this mass shooting were to be on Cable news/talk channels it would most likely be in the form of the NRA leaders making a rant over the shooting though.

In 2020 there are now allegations of Chinese interference, Privacy Violations, and Data Collections over Tik Tok App that promoted the Pentagon to ban the Tik Tok app/website on Pentagon issued devices. This was reported on Various Youtube pundits, TMZ, NY Times and Washington Post. Yes these 4 outlets have different audiences but they understand that the younger audiences are using this outlet though. This was covered while traditional TV outlets were talking about the 2020 Primaries, Iran and the Senate Impeachment. This is a sign that we have to diversify our sources when looking for topics.
My Take here is that Cable News didn't cover Tik Tok's data collection, privacy and allegations of political interference is that most of their Audience don't use this outlet though they might use Twitter and Facebook but that is it. Yes even Social Media is formatted to a certain demo.

THere are stories of outbreaks around the world such as the China Corona Virus outbreak and the Congo Measles deaths these stories are not seen outside of BBC News and Al Jazeera though.
The Chinese Corona Virus story aired on the national evening news Saturday evening.
Have been hearing same story of harry and meagan leaving royal duties many times what is the big deal especially when the guy is like eighth in line to be king.
Mainly because Megan is American, but this is more in the celebrity gossip section of the news. (Is that actually news???)
I saw it in my newspaper.
You could argue that it isn't news on this side of the pond even though Meagan is involved. The Royals have always been of some interest over here even though our ancestors tossed them out two centuries ago. Meagan's joining the royal family got a ton of modern Americans interested again apparently.
Considering that the last Royal to abandon the family for his (American divorcee wife) was Edward VIII in 1936 this is something that is quite rare in the UK and naturally would be of interest to those citizens. For American media it is something out of a fairy book story.
Having spent some time in the UK years ago I can attest the British media's obsession with the royals. Their newsstands are filled with what we would call yellow journalism and lewd stories. I would not have blamed either one had they kicked some of those obnoxious media types in the berries.
There is also a lot of that in American tabloids and gossip magazines as well.
