Not necessarily. Barbara Walters was all about celebrity interviews. That was popular and profitable. But the conflicts between Barbara Walters and Peter Jennings was summarized by Peter's statement. "That is not news."
The networks (CBS, NBC, and ABC) never made money from their news departments. Which is why CBS, in an effort to maximize profits, is now reported to have only two overseas journalists. Both in London. The (rumored) 52 freelance correspondents under contract to CBS have been released.
