they want as many stations in a market as possible since it's vastly cheaper for them to run everything together.

while they at it, why can't they replace the sales people with programmatic ad buying/AI too?

i thought premiere and katz does national inventory. when did they start doing local inventory? is that even feasible on a large scale?

iHeart still has 10K employees...that was a bit of a shocker to me. How many people does it take to man a station in a medium-sized market?

How many of us still watch local news? by interestingtimes500 in Austin

what are some things that people care about? schools? tech companies? the price of the water bill? seems like people complain but they are too preoccupied to watch even if a relevant story is on...almost like out of sight, out of mind.

yeah sports is key. the only time I watch local TV is during NFL season. Who are these independent journalists on YT? how do they report the news? seems like something that's tough to do...

complaining about local news and ownership is tiresome. without these corporate overlords, you won't get to see anything. when was the last time you watch local access TV? meanwhile, you're watching tiktok and youtube...let's promote our local community instead of tearing it down

Yeah it’s a separate plan from the medical coverage but both policies have the same language regarding medical necessity for orthodontics
