I don’t disagree. I only watch local stations for weather and traffic unless a major event takes place in my city. I felt firsthand the crushing effect of clear channel on radio in my market and do not want that to happen to television. Edit: I’m still kind of confused why local stations cover national stories unless they concern a local event or story (or just do a super generic AP-style readout if there’s a major US story). But most of my local stations have national affiliates that already cover national stories (ABC NBC CBS)
