You're talking about the local news programs, right?
I always think it's relatively lame when they cover national and international stuff... and it seems like filler... as if they don't have enough local stories and investigative reporting to fill their 21 minutes (30 minutes minus ads)... even less when you consider the time they spend on weather and sports.
We watch the networks at 6:30 (5:30 for you in TX, I assume) for the national and international stuff... and CNN and Fox News later on in the evening if we want to go for more in-depth coverage.
When your local news dudes and dudettes do national and beyond, they're generally just running footage they get from their network affiliate and doing a cursory commentary.
So if you wanna spend
only 30 minutes each night and hear coverage of more than just local stories, you should just switch to watching what the networks put out at 5:30 (your time).
