Local news here in (more urban areas) CT is murder, robbery, etc.
It is unwatchable because they spend most of their time trying to pretend they don’t know anything about the perps. ;-)
WMUR in Manchester, NH has the Friday night High School football games. UNH & Dartmouth sports. They do a lot of local interest stories. The tell the weather at least twice. They also tell about the latest robbery by some Hispanic dude or local heroin addict.
NH has the first primary. So, they always have a story about which loony Dem candidate is flipping pancakes or stumping in the Granite State.
They do not spend a third of the news cast bashing Trump.
Especially first thing in the morning. They leave that to GMA.
