We're losing local newspapers, either folding from pressures of big city papers or gobbled up by what in now one provider... Used to be 3 independent's here, a local daily, some other local weeklies.. Now either gone or owned by the same company, and the same with radio, used to be local day to day news, an incident in town or nearby, tune in, know what was going on... No more, just prerecorded crap of no use...
Try driving out in the hinterlands, prerecorded music or right wing BS or religious folks looking for money... Sirius helps, but it's never local..
