Two questions in this.

First I remember when the news stations would rarely even mention their competitor channels. That changed some years ago. When and why did this change?

Second, Is using another channels video not against copyright etc?

We now have news channels reporting on news channels reactions. While I am glad I get to see the idiots on other channels without giving them views, it perplexes me how this is a practice.

Is there some sort of agreement that everyone gets to use what they want? How does this work?

I think it falls under fair use. You are allowed to use their video if you are making a critical response but limited in how much you can use. You see it with Youtubers a lot.

Even if its defaming the other channel? Tucker has been pretty brutal on the eunuch.

they pay to use it, its a share program so they all get to report the good story and if they dont have the video they pay to use theirs

It's a variation of the ploy used by the FBI in the Coup Attempt.

Channel 1 reports,
Channel 2 reports on the report lending validity,
then all other channels can then report on the now valid original, and around and around they go adding in Tweets and FB Postings all referencing back to the original report...

and this is now how the "news cycle" is handled to prevent viewers from actually receiving real news and promote feeding dis and mis information to everyone and forming a collective hive mind that is easily controlled.

A lot of this falls under the guise of the fair use guidelines. They can use clips of other broadcasts to use as criticism or reports on each other.

Sometimes for special events they will put caps on clips like debates where you are limited to 2 minutes of clips and follow certain guidelines such as a onair verbal mention and graphics saying where the video is from.

Actually, now most stations will shrink the video if it is from another network and keep a graphic up sourcing the video the entire time.

In other avenues, news sharing video services like the APTV, CNN Newssource, Fox News Edge, CBS Newspath, NBC News Channel, and ABC News One exist to share video content of our of market news to local affiliates. For this type of service, since stations are essentially licensing content and paying for it, they do not use graphics or keys to source the video.

And for breaking news, Fox, CBS, and ABC affiliates have something called Network News Service, NNS, which allows those 3 networks to pool video content from the local stations of those 3 networks to the national networks of the 3 members and local affiliates. That is why for a car chase in Los Angeles, you may see video from KCBS on Fox News Channel. Or ABC might use some video from a Fox Affiliate for ABC World News.

The biggest news sharing service by volume is CNN Newssource which has international clients and 90% of local stations (from all networks) across the US. That is why if you look close enough, you may even see the same intro and news report on a 2 local stations.

Conan O’Brien made fun of this too.

Several years ago, even Fox owed local stations were clients of CNN Newssource. Until they started to realize that it was duplication of what they already had with Fox News Edge and NNS. Similarly, CNN and CNN Newssource were members of APTV, but due to a price increase, they left. And expanded Newssource to even text based stories for its members.
