Complaints about local news? That's pretty cutting edge. What next, a thread complaining about airline food?This.
I'm curious as to what kinds of stories people actually would like to hear on local news, as opposed to (or in addition to) the kind they wouldn't.
That should, I hope, be a more interesting question than it seems at first blush. I mean, there are lots of ways (including CU, newspapers, other internet sources for weather and crime and so on) that I can get information that didn't exist 20 or even 10 years ago. Many of those are really good. What is (or should) local TV news focus on, given everything else that's out there?

They should stick with what they know best... scaring the bejesus out of people.

Ann Fisher should switch her show to the local news slot. I would watch that.

Not every show is up my alley, but there's a *lot* of great local video content on All Sides on a regular basis. For example:

Yeah, I hate when the news reports about felons being captured in local neighborhoods. I'd much rather they report on issues that matter, like Adele's vocal cord surgery. http://hosted2.ap.org/WBNSTV/ec2d8a4c1614477db0610df17d4a39ce/Article_2011-11-07-Music-Adele/id-5bd775dc5eba47ab8396b27357bc640b

If you've ever watched Web Soup (you haven't, almost nobdy does) they have a segment about local news videos. The tagline for the intro is "Local News. Slowly dying, but still hillarious"
