Idk about other areas but I suspect my local stations are fairly representative of at least the north eastern quarter of the US. All of them burn the better part of a minute with a 'teaser' piece that reveals essentially nothing, early in the half hour. Then about mid way through they burn what must be a solid 4 minutes at least with all manner of fluff. This is when there are no extreme events. If they just stuck to the next 24 hours, and then maybe a brief look at the "7 day" just for the general trends, they could stick that in place of the dreaded teaser, and even repeat it later (in case you missed it) and easily shrink it by 75%
