I guess it comes down to innovation. 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.

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

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

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

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? I’m mixed.
