You're probably thinking about the NAVAREA warnings and other
maritime broadcasts; yes, they're still very much around - I copied some
from USCG Boston last night - but news organizations such as NBC, ABC,
CNN, FOX and so on are all gone from HF.

Nah, this stuff is on satellite these days. I've seen once in a

anyone aware if commercial broadcasters still using teletype?

You are wrong on that.

I can copy the Coast Guard most any time on sitor B Navtex and their TTY is
