Same here.

Do you mean a hole show? Because if so no. But if I sit and watch for 20-30 mins I do!

Local News is the original reality TV. I used to love the old days of WPIX in NYC where Steve Bosh and Pat Harper were the anchors!!

No. I very seldom watch the local news. Sometimes I tune into CNN but it's been nothing but bad news lately.

Mysty Eyes · 11-09-2003, 11:55 AM

I used to watch it daily, once upon a time. But in recent years the answer is "No." Frankly I became quite annoyed at watching their "talking heads." And around here, news reporters switch stations as frequently as professional athletes change teams. It's hard to develop a familiar feel for any one particular news team anymore.

I listen to our local news radio station ("you give us 22 minutes, we'll give you the world") every weekday in the mornings as I prepare for work. Evenings and weekends it's all hit-and-miss. Sometimes I tune in to either TV or radio for the news, but it's not anything routine.

For world news I often tune in to CNN, or check various online news sites.

InspectorExstead · 11-09-2003, 02:53 PM

but in the past couple of weeks, becuase of the fires, i have tuned in, but i don't watch the entire show.

I usually don't read the local news, mostly because the only it's about are the schools, but sometimes I read it.

Brent88 · 11-09-2003, 04:00 PM

Well, where I live, most of the time, nothing of interest ever happens(outside of a murder or car accident). I usually only watch the local weather and sometimes sports(on Friday Night for high school scores) otherwise, not really.

Crimson and Clover · 11-09-2003, 04:22 PM

no, i hardly ever watch it.

AKA · 11-09-2003, 04:27 PM

I don't watch it anymore, because it's usually biased fluff these days. Instead, I get my news from a local alternative weekly.

Pitooey · 11-09-2003, 05:50 PM

Yes I do! I watch NY1 and CNN everyday and sometimes NBC,CBS or ABC.

SBTB Geek · 11-09-2003, 06:43 PM
