Seriously. How often do we need to see the news on TV? Well, if you're in the Madison area, you have LOTS of choices.
We start out the day with the 5am local morning shows
cbs, nbc, abc all have two hours, and then go to the national shows for the next 2 hours. except for NBC which goes 3. CBS then goes back to local news for another 1/2 hour.
the CW has "the daily buzz" that lasts 3 hours
NBC and ABC local have another 1/2 hour news at 11. CBS has local at noon.
NBC local has a 1/2 hour at 4
NBC, CBS and ABC locals have 1/2 hour at 5, followed by 1/2 hour national news on each station at 530, not to mention BBC news on PBS.
at 6, there's more local news on ABC, CBS and NBC for 1/2 hour, and the Jim Lehrer news hour on PBS.
ABC actually has ANOTHER local news cast for 1/2 hour at 630.
There's a bit of a break for prime time television, and it starts over at 9.
Fox and MyTV14 both have 1/2 hour 9pm news.
At 10pm, we have the local NBC, ABC and CBS 1/2 hour news.
At 11:05, it's nightline on ABC.
Are you KIDDING ME? this city does NOT have that much to talk about. That is (if I counted correctly, and I don't feel like counting again), TWENTY SIX HOURS OF NEWS in a matter of 18.5 hours.
And that DOESN'T include the actual news channels, like CNN.

Well, if you avoid the TV like me, you don't have to watch any of it. :)
I prefer The Daily Buzz.
It's inexpensive programming. They already pay to "make" the product...so the more they use it, the more efficient it is. Does anybody really want MORE news???
-that guy that works with you in news
That may be why Madison is so progressive... of course Fox probably reverses the trend.
