This is a byproduct of the "all news" networks and cable/satellite TV. They have to do something to fill airtime 24/7. In the "old days" all we had were 3 over the air networks (CBS, NBC, ABC) which had only so many hours a day dedicated to news (local and national/international) - and they had to be efficient. Back in those days they did not broadcast 24 hours a day either. Then again, back in those days everyone read newspapers and most cities had competing papers and both morning and evening editions.
