Do cable news networks get the same playbook?

Do cable news networks get the same playbook?
Tonight Im flipping to CNN,Msnbc,and Fox. All three of them keep talking about the Shivo case over and over and over.
They all have the same guest and analysit on to. You can watch Msnbc and then turn to Fox and see the same exact guest and the same commentary. All three had the same preacher and they talked about a book he wrote. Man I felt like I was getting a memo from my bosses at work, saying the same message over and over.
