Do channels where they read time minute after minute still exist? Did they even exist in the past? I can't find any info on them but they're referenced in movies and cartoons.

They are probably long gone - at its earliest, that kind of announcement as was was left to radio and comparable local news. If you listen to news radio, they might have a set intermittent announcement or chime while television has relegated time the Extended Program Guide feature of digital TV.

I hate to hijack your thread OP but I have a related question - were there announcements on TV that a television series been cancelled? Not like some entertainment news piece, but as the show would start, an announce would say something to the effect "We regret to inform you that 'blank show' has been cancelled so we can bring you 'new blank show'". This is another seen I have only seen done on TV.

NIST still transmits the time on shortwave (WWV), but they're discontinuing voice transmission in October.
