Veteran on-air talent. Can’t get hired.

I was (until recently) a major market, multiple award winning reporter anchor bla bla bla. Top 10 market middle aged white guy. Star reporter. Great tape. Great agent.

Cant get an offer even in Market 30.
Are stations just not hiring anyone over 25? Is it because my tape is old school and Im not doing the news on my phone or social?
Are any other vets finding it difficult landing top tier jobs? Ie: six figure reporter gigs. I used to command tons of interest from stations, looking for a strong lead reporter. Now it seems they dont care about that.

I know the answer to all my questions. Im not dumb. But Im curious if Im alone.
