As VNT winds down in its last month on the air (on HBO at least), the number of segments per episode are getting fewer as well as longer, running 5+ minutes apiece (sometimes up to 7-9 minutes) to the detriment of the quality and conciseness of the stories. While this would seemingly give a bit more room to explore things in more depth and let interviews run longer, in practice the segments end up feeling long and a bit muddled, in need of editing down. Still, with these shortcomings VNT remains a quality program far preferable to basically any other regular newscast, though with a noticeable decline from just 2-3 months ago
