Problem with your idea: "a place to find out about quality things happening in their community" is not something normal people actually want.
It's something HNers and a small subset of news consumers want, but not the general public. They want to be entertained, even while watching "the news."
Normal people never want something to be "longer" and more "in-depth." That's a niche.

I think the counterpoint to this is what got us in this situation where people are turning off the tube en masse.
