Thanks, Mike. When they first started up, I mentioned them as perhaps borrowing on the "World News Now" now-ness :-) Before N10N, there were local news broadcasts in some of the medium- size cities in the area, but those got shut down in the consolidation. I believe there are "stringers" covering local areas, but I'm not sure how "local" they are anymore, or if one can even make a living doing that :-(. -Doug Elrod ([email protected]) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "World News Now Discussion List" group.
