I expect youre being downvoted for the same reasons I felt the need to reply. I'm skeptical that any "local" news station is able to give you useful content without also pushing strong partisian agendas.

What station is it? Asking with an open heart and mind. I would love it if such a thing exists in this day and age.

Local news tends to be way more actionable. City council meetings are attended by like... Thirty people? Max? I've shown up to ones where there are more people on the council than in the gallery. It's very easy to get your voice heard if you're in a crowd the size of a small classroom. And the impact is direct! They were going to accept the suburb negotiation for allocation of service renumeration based on assessed value rather than service quantity consumed! I voiced my opposition, as did several others; the motion was eventually decided against.

But if you're not reading your local paper, you might not even have known. Of course all three of mine are INCREDIBLY partisan, which is great because they're partisan in different ways :)

Hesitant to give out my location but I guess if you combed my comment history someone could find out.

I like WSB-TV and the early morning broadcast only. Lots of local news less the 5 o’clock prime time breaking news type stuff. Perhaps the key is picking the right time of day.

I also pay for PBS/GPB but I am someone who can filter out partisan topics and welcome both liberal and conservative discussions. At the end of the day I make my own conclusions and I’m not afraid to break party lines.
