NEW YORK (AP) — If provocative, psyche-jangling shows like "The Handmaid's Tale" are your taste, head directly to streaming or cable. But if you're feeling the urge for milk-and-cookies comfort, broadcast television wants to help.

As once-mighty broadcast ratings continue to be shredded by media alternatives, the networks are going where viewers are pointing them. Читать дальше...
