Why is it we have to watch basketball when the LOCAL news should be on. WBNG sucks and the girl on fox can't push her glasses up where they belong. So much for LOCAL news. It sucks

WBNG shows very little local news.  It's mostly regional or national pieces that are shared among the stations owned by the parent company, with a smattering of local content.  They'll repeat the same 3-4 pieces at least 3 times in a 30 minute  broadcast.  Remember, you the viewer are not their customer.  The advertiser is.  They will spend not one more cent than necessary to retain your interest between commercials.  They are a business with a bottom line, just like any other business.  You are not their customer you are the product they sell to the advertisers who write them checks.  The station has bills and employees to pay and must generate a profit or else they wouldn't be there, it's Business 101. 

That being said... The quality of the minimal "local news" content has gone way down hill.  They could be more responsible with their local reporting and be more profitable long term if they wanted to be.  I think they're just very short sighted and looking for the "grab n go" money while ignoring the longer term profit potential of building a brand.
