Local news sucks big time. It starts at 5 and runs untill 6:30. I remember when I was young, nightly news was 30 minutes and covered everything necessary.
Now, they will start at 5 with a lead story, give a few minutes of information and then say "more details at 6 o'clock" then give a weather update, then a tease for a news story which they aren't going to air until 6, then another story--it is maddening, they end up using the same news "story" for (4) different segments--just give out all the information at once and move on and quit filling time with teases about stories which are going to run later in the same damn braodcast.
It is like the producers have ADD--and the constant weather updates are asinine.
Also everything has to have some type of name, it is not the "weather center" it is the "channel 11 severe weather center" which is completely stupid especially when the "channel 11 severe weather center" is giving a forecast of clear skies and sunny
And why is ther "celebrity" news on the local news? I don't care what movie premiered at #1, or what Kim Kardashian is doing--what does this have to do with local news?
And since they have so much time to fill, I get to watch the "consumer correspondent" test the latest sham wow to see if it really works
Go back to the 30-minute format, cover your hard news, then the weather, then sports, end broadcast.
Sorry for the rant--I just can't stand local news, which is why I get everything on-line.
