Local News, Repeats

[Oliver Hardy]

If often bugs me when watching local news they repeat what has just been covered on the national news, what is the point. OK sometimes they add further information, but that is rare.

But it would be odd if they didn't.

If something happened locally that warranted national coverage yet when they switch to local they didn't mention it, you'd think why not?

That said, all of the major news channels no longer have proper regional news offices so lack the capacity to cover the bigger stories with any depth.
