   Great post BC. I’m more of a Robin Meade/Morning Express kind of guy but if I had to choose a local sta­tion, I’d go with WATE.

   @katie alli­son granju: Had a feel­ing you’d say that.

   I’m mixed. I watch what’s on. Never watch the morn­ing local news, or the 6 PM, not home at 5 either. Maybe watch the 10 or 11. Just curious…do Knoxvil­lians watch the local news and if so, what station?

   @CP: CP check this out! If you search WATE in Google the sec­ond link is Bar­bie Cum­mings story. I know this prob­a­bly changes, but how funny is that.

   Up until recently when the broad­casts got be real crap, I watched the Night­beat on WBIR.

   But I think it should be under­stood that I don’t think there are a lot of 20 some­things that watch the news at all any more. I get my fill by the time I’m done check­ing my feeds…

   I grew up on the morn­ing and 6pm news, though and even mom always chose WBIR..

    Again, another ques­tion I’m really no help with. I stopped watch­ing local news about the same time I stopped car­ing about get­ting out of school for snow days.

    I watch WBIR most morn­ings, but only out of habit. Local tele­vi­sion news in gen­eral is pretty hor­ri­ble because of the following:

    * Uncom­fort­able ban­ter between talk­ing heads
    * Slightly biased tone when read­ing some sto­ries
    * Most sto­ries have no-depth
    * Inclu­sion of national news that can be found any num­ber of other places, includ­ing the Inter­net and national cable news (CNN, etc)

    I think a bet­ter option for most folks is to turn off the TV, and turn on your radio to the local NPR sta­tion. In fact, I believe I’m going to start doing just that.

    Inter­est­ing points, I didn’t intend to kill the local news.…but that seems to be the point made in many of these com­ments. I guess it comes down to innovation.

    For some rea­son, when I watch the news, I usu­ally turn on WBIR, I don’t know why.

    I’d have to go with Patrick though and say NPR is the way to go, TV news to just so lame.

    Eric.
