When You Have to Fill Time

Anyone trying to Produce a newscast, or write a TV blog knows that during the holidays, it is hard to find enough news to fill up the newscast.

It’s not just local either.

On Christmas Day, NBC News used up over 4 minutes of their short news hole to run credits of all the people that work on the broadcast.

While I’m sure the friends and family of those people listed in the credits loved it, I’m sure most viewers could give a rip.

The "full credits" that "NBC Nightly News" aired Dec. 25, 2019.
