One thing I hate about where we are (NAS Patuxent River area) is that the “local” TV stations are based out of DC (1 1/2 hours away) or Baltimore (2 hrs away) so it’s not often our area even gets mentioned on the news. Been watching a lot of FoxNews and Weather Channel lately...
I rely on Norfolk/VA Beach (2+ hours) and Salisbury, MD (1hour) but both actually do include this location, Salisbury usually better than VABeach. Dealt with the same problem when I lived in Delaware. So I know exactly how you feel!
