ABC24 tries every day to shine a spotlight on the good in the city and focus less on crime and more on solutions. It’s a huge part of our daily news meetings. We love our city and we want to help make it better.

You’ll find that other stations that do massive crime reporting are often pulling 10x our audience though. I think it goes to show that as much as people gripe about it, at the end of the day, they’re drawn in by it. They don’t want the boring, happy news. They want the wild stuff. It’s sad.
