Local4+

It looks like 4 is looking to cut into the local news ratings by adding an exclusive additional hour in the mornings on their digital Local4+ TV app. Also, it sounds like Jason Carr is getting his Facebook show moved to Local4+ per his social media postings.

I hadn't heard of it until recently but Local 4 News at 10 online and on Local4+ has been going since at least February.

I think 26 hours of news per day is stupid.

But are people actually watching? Or will it be like the Today Show, GMA or The Nine in the morning?
I don't doubt that with either of the three I just mentioned, the TV is background noise most of the time.
People come in the room when they hear the "cattle call" jingle for the weather, or for the cooking show, or whatever.
Other than that, putz around the house. The Boob Tube is on. But no one's in the room.
And it don't matter. Yeah, if I was an advertiser I'd think twice about running ads on the morning news shows.
But even if no one's in the room, good ol' Neilsen thinks someone's watching. That's all that matters.

Who has room for another app on their phone?


They/them, non-binary and proud.

Remember that “2000 Mules” was concocted by a circus of elephants.
The right needs to stop worry about what’s between people’s legs. Instead, they should focus on what’s between their ears.

What else do they have going for them? This is the same TV station that had an app for Kwame Kilpatrick's trial.

Never load an app from a TV station, nor most weather apps. They are privacy sucking monsters, and I can assure you that whatever a TV station can do to sell out its viewers, it will do without second thought.
