KTNT Channel 11, (now KSTW) twice a CBS affiliate, had a pretty nifty news product. I guess they are trying again but believe it is coming from California! Local news for Seattle from California. Disappointing.

I happen to be from California, but I can understand!
 
Yeah, I get it. Utilizing company stations for less cost. But it just seems abnormal to my 63 year old brain. Local news needs to be local, not two States away.
