Do you watch the local news?

Switch to channel 4. WJLA is Sinclair-owned. Right-wing propaganda.

This. Even then, I can find more up to date info online, so it’s more of a throwback reaction to the pre-internet times.

If I get up early enough, Saturday and Sunday mornings. I usually watch about a half hour of it just to see what's going on locally. During the week, it's cable news.

NP. It really is noticeable to me, especially compared to the other local news outlets.

I watch the local news maybe twice a week, always NBC4. On occasion, I’ll stick around afterwards to watch Lester Holt. I get most of my local news online and prefer BBC for all else.

Same! Great morning team.

only if there is bad weather on the way or like, a plane crash or something.

Not since I was a kid.

That said, I also don't watch CNN, MSNBC, Fox, etc., except for something huge like 9/11 or a presidential inauguration.

It's all pretty low quality.

Sometimes. I have on News 4 early in the morning while I'm making coffee, tending to the dog, checking my phone etc.

Then I have the Today Show on.

Are you 80+? Not so much even an age thing--but do you watch Wheel of Fortune? Do you have a change purse? Do you write checks at the grocery store?

NBC 4 and nightly news somewhat regularly but not everyday. Have stopped watching network news.

I dropped the post because their metro section was pathetic. The same is true for WAMU- just look at DCist or WAMU and you'll notice a few well written stories and a few blurbs but no day to day news

I watch Katzenjammer or whatever when there's a bad storm ever since he broke the Derecho story. Never forget.

Local radio is not limited to WAMU.

Where do you get your local news?

Does anyone know if NBC4 still have that annoying ‘working for you’ catchphrase?
No, You don’t work for me, since I am not the one paying your wages.
