No red coats or investigative team that requires 2 or 3 reporters at a time. Keep it simple.

Joe is right; this 10-1 thing kills the reason for 10pm news. People who go to bed early prefer the 10 so hit the top stories first otherwise it’s a waste of time. Channel 4 is brutal with this in the mornings as well. A story at 5am they give you a sampling then say to hear more on this stay tuned after 5:30. People are getting ready for school or work so why do that? Broadcast news is not evolving with the "instant news" times and their ratings will continue to hit a downward path if they keep using these poor business practices.

It's gimmicky and having the top story go last is just not very bright. Channel 2 has been more innovative (and better staffed) than the other 2 stations but this is NOT one of its better ideas. 10 at 10 is one of the dopier things I’ve seen and doing it backward from 10 to 1 is even dopier.
