KPLC in LC was basically the only game in town forever but over the years they got a Fox affiliation which KPLC does all the broadcast work for and now there’s a random CBS affiliation but no local news on it. It’s very odd.

probably the result of awful reporting, horrendous journalism and piss-poor editing. The BR stations are absolute garbage. Especially the weekend crews.

And thats not even addressing the bias inherent in smaller stations. I can't imagine a worse ROI for samll businesses than advertising during a news broadcast. You'd do better sponsoring a sign at the local baseball field or school sporting event.

KLAX out of Alexandria is now owned by a media company out of Greenville, Ms. Best I can tell they basically just put the Delta News and Weather team in another room in the studio with a backdrop of Alexandria and do a pre-recorded cast for local stuff and then show whatever they have video for in house or from corporate for regional and national stories

The continued consolidation of media under the control of just a couple of massive conglomerates is not a great trend.



Maybe they should start doing their own reporting and not 4am talking points
