Local news has been the home of pretty faces and vapid reporting for at least two generations. Firing the good workers is part of corperate foot shooting in TV as well as print. Why not ship the whole thing to India for English and Mexico City for Spanish coverage. They will work for slave wages and make cute on screen. The will put noise on screen and if you take it 24-7 commericals no one will notice. I’m surprised they are not outsourcing to India.
