Hmmm,
You can turn to any one of a dozen sports stations on cable to get your national sports news fix. There is only one channel locally and they get about 4 minutes per night to report. It should be local, it should be all local. Should never be national unless it has local slant. The internet does a fairly good job of giving sports updates nationally as well. Don't have a computer? They have free web browsing at the public library.
