I was thinking, before we start digging
into our chateaubriands...

1:19:07

let's show her how we feel about her.

1:19:24

We've got the number one show
in television!

1:19:30

At next year's affiliates' meeting, I'll
be telling you we've got the top five!

1:19:41

Last year, we were
the number four network.

1:19:43

Next year, we're number one!

1:19:46

We're number one!

1:19:49

We're number one!

1:20:01

It is exactly 7:00
here in Los Angeles...

1:20:04

and right now over a million homes
using television in this city...

1:20:08

are turning their dials
to channel three...

1:20:10

and that's our channel!

1:20:19

Howard Beale!

1:20:24

Stop it! Stop it!

1:20:27

Listen to me,
and listen carefully...

1:20:29

because this is your goddamn life
I'm talking about today.

1:20:34

In this country, when one company wants
to take over another company...

1:20:37

they simply buy up a controlling share
of the stock...

1:20:40

but first they have to file notice
with the government.

1:20:42

That's how CCA took over the company
that owns this network.

1:20:45

But now somebody's buying up CCA.

1:20:48

Somebody called
the Western World Funding Corporation.

1:20:52

They filed the notice this morning.

1:20:54

Who in the hell is
the Western World Funding Corporation?

1:20:58

It is a consortium of banks
and insurance companies...
