Technically just watching live network TV, not the actual 11PM news.

do you have to get up to turn the dial to change the channel too?

Is your local news KC or is it like local local?

I'm confused by the question. I live directly in a major market, if that helps

Re: The Official Mayor Pete/Dept of Transportation thread
That was the question. The local news where I grew up was still NYC unless you watched LOCAL local which was the really weird shit. Where my wife grew up its somewhere in the middle where Wilkes Barre is the metro but the news still looks closer to a HS project than Channel 4 with Sue Simmons & Chuck Scarborough.

Re: The Official Mayor Pete/Dept of Transportation thread
Perfect description. Growing up, we had Binghamton local, but Fox showed NYC local news. We were a CBS local family, but IIRC, Fox aired local at the normal time and NYC local either just before or after the local. Not 100% on that one. And evening news was NYC at 11:00 on Fox.mister d wrote: ↑Wed Jan 11, 2023 11:41 am That was the question.

Re: The Official Mayor Pete/Dept of Transportation thread
to my knowledge we don't have any hyperlocal programming that's on broadcast, but the news that I watch I also probably watch differently than most people anyway given my job

Re: The Official Mayor Pete/Dept of Transportation thread
When I was living in the other corner of the state, not only did we get the major Boston networks and WMUR out of Manchester but also WNNE, which was like White River Jct VT and hoo boy even under mid-to-late-80s standards that was some backwater shit.

To this day some of those small-market TV stations are hilarious operations. We have a lot of them as customers at my new job and my old job.
I'll never forget one time I was on a support call a few years ago with someone dealing with a technical issue about their content management system and then the guy says "OK, thanks for your help but I have to wrap this up and go do the 12 o'clock news". I managed to get out something like "You what?" and he said "I'm the anchorman for the morning and afternoon news as well as managing our systems."
Got a good chuckle out of that one.

Growing up in central DE we always had Philly for the big 3 networks, but depending on the cable provider might at any given time have a Baltimore or Salisbury, MD network.

Going to college in San Marcos, we would get the network stations for both San Antonio and Austin. Which was helpful whenever I missed an episode of Young & the Restless!

That’s also the way it was in my hometown, back in the day. (Don’t know, nowadays.)
