National Channel

Every evening, National Channel news veteran Howard Beale tells us about the important events in the world in stories and facts. But Howard's ratings are not the brightest, and the channel management decides to replace him with a younger colleague. Upset by this decision, Howard tells viewers that in his final broadcast he will commit suicide live on air. He becomes an instant sensation, and his following grows rapidly. National Channel realizes that entertainment is more profitable than news, and that news can be entertaining too, as long as there is an "angry old man" at the helm who speaks plainly. As long as the ratings are high, everything is fine, right?
