One has to ask how many blocks devoted to local news becomes too much, especially on slow news days as that can be a lot to fill. While I tend to watch more national news and read my local news online, the last time I paid much attention, there was local news at 6 a.m., Noon, 6 p.m. and 11 p.m. and sometimes it was the same regurgitated stuff on all 4 newscasts, sometimes repeated even a day or two later. Then they decided to add a 5 p.m. statewide newscast which is done in conjunction with a few other stations in the state where they show various content from all.
Regarding the story in the original post above, what does Judge Judy have to be so angry about? She's 78 years old, has worked her whole life, had national fame for the past few dozen years AND got her contract bought out for $99 Million. While one could tell from the few times I watched her show that she most likely isn't a pleasant person to deal with and one doesn't want to get on her bad side, I really don't see how she has much to be unhappy about.
