Well, of course.  I doubt any of us live in a small town with station
large enough to have local news.  I get Atlanta stations on DISH.  The
point is, even if your 'local' station is 3 hours away, it is still in
the same state and they could at least do *some* good if they would get
off the ratings kick and decide to actually INFORM people of things that
could actually affect their lives.
