Tom Volek, assistant professor of journalism, said that in the past eight to 10 years there had been an increase in morning talk shows for people who wanted to be up to date with news.
Volek said this type of show provided an alternative source of information for people who missed the regular newscasts. He also said it was a form of entertainment
