There is plenty of news, if you consider positive or mundane happenings in the world. I remember our old local TV station would report things like park openings, local fairs, the high school football game etc. Surprisingly, they occasionally also managed to do longer segments on things completely unrelated to the local news. For example they’d get a local university professor to come on and explain the ozone hole for 60 mins or do a segment on pan handling scams that were supposedly taking over. There was always content, and there were always viewers.
