  and that explains why it's not as useful I can get the information on demand 24x7 from anywhere in the world, that seems more useful than having someone read it to me at scheduled times on the radio where if I don't happen to be listening at that time, I miss it. If I have to work through the high school football game (or am out of town) and want to know the score when I come home, I can pull up the school's webpage at 11pm to see the score, I don't need to tune in at 7am the next morning to hear the local news. If there's a water leak and school is closed early, I don't have to be listening to the radio all day to hear the announcement or wait for my child to call me, I'll get an SMS (and/or phone call or email or app alert) and I can already be on my way home to meet her. Too much information is just as bad as not enough This is a rural area, my typical hometown police blotter column includes 4 or 5 incidents (including the occasional kitten rescues and lost cow found wandering downtown). That's hardly too much information. And back when they did read this information on our local AM station, they included the same information (our family dog made the police report on the radio when she was reported on the local highway and returned home by police)
