Local News Departments

[Robert S Chase]

Donna:

At one time the failure to have a local news department could have been used 
to challenge the licensee for it license at renewal time. WRKO's at one time 
sister station WNAC lost its license to a group for not acting in the public 
interest, or was it WHDH?

Oh and my 2 cents on RKO news-- it's wrong, wrong, wrong not to have
some local news.  Research shows people want it.  It may not be the
prime reason they tune in, but it's one more thing they can like
about your station.
