I read some people rely on Sunday morning shows like this, MTP, etc, as their main non-local news source.

A lot of TV viewers, of course, don't watch anything beyond local news or national evening news, and that often in passing.

Radio is the leading reach platform: 92% of us listen to AM/FM radio over the airwaves, which is higher than TV viewership (87%), PC use (54%), smartphone use (81%), and tablet use (46%)


Btw, from Pew:

In just five years, the percentage of Republicans with at least some trust in national news organizations has fallen by half – dropping from 70% in 2016 to 35% this year, a June survey found.

Democrats remain far more likely than Republicans to say they have a lot or some trust in the information that comes from national news organizations (78% vs. 35%). The 43-point partisan gap is the widest measured since at least 2016.

Republican distrust for damned good reason, of course. Implacable opposition to Democrats is not the same thing as believing all the lies on Fox, etc.
