CNN appears to be more in-depth and faster to cover the major events.  Their coverage of 9/11, Florida hurricanes and Katrina was very well covered. NBC would be a close second for reliable coverage. FOX is getting better. CBS and ABC are to far behind.

Sounds like a good idea :-)\n\nYou need to develop a business plan and market it to suitable investors. I would imagine that people already involved in television would be the logical place. Fox, ABC, CBS, NBC, etc......

And the shareholders didn't benefit as much as the majority owners when those teams were eventually sold. \n\nCheck source for complete info:
