Local TV can be a good bet.

Some of the most popular shows on television today are local television news shows, according to a new study by the Hearst-Argyle Television group.

A study found that local news and hosted interviewer programs were rated as four of the top 10 shows in seven large and mid sized television markets, during the three most recent Nielsen sweeps ratings periods.
Study Says That Local TV Offers More Than Primetime Shows and Network News
“There is more to local television than primetime and the network news.”
In the recently released Neilsen July ratings data, local programming accounted for six of the top 10 shows in Pittsburgh; five of the top 10 shows in Albuquerque, Boston, Kansas City and Milwaukee; and four of the top ten in Baltimore and Sacramento.
That works out to an average of just under five top 10 programs per market. According to the study, the average was about four in the February ratings and about three in May when network programming was stronger. The ratings data comes from the independent Nielsen surveys.
Local TV News can be a good bet for advertising dollars.
Local advertisers should consider advertising opportunities beyond network or syndicated national programming.
Local television can be a “wonderful advertising proposition, reaching the homes in the local market and provides a community service.

The loss of local government control of cable

Time Warner and AT&T have been making huge campaign donations to state officials to ensure the passage of SB117. SB117 eliminates local government control of cable. SB117 eliminates all local franchise agreements and gives control of the cable industry to the state. Sb117 eliminates all PEG funding including studios. SB117 supportors claimed that it would bring competition and lower rates to Ohioans. PEG channels are grandfathered until 2012 or the expiration of the current franchise whichever comes FIRST. Without funding, it hard to say how long communities such as Wadsworth, Dayton, Cincinnatti with be able to operate. Time Warner has the option to take back any PEG channel that are not "substantially used". Sb117 eliminates services such as free cable to senior citizen centers, classrooms and libraries,

Across the state of Ohio cities(including Dayton, Hudson, Cleveland,, Cincinnatti and Akron) passed resolutions against SB117.
Representatives from city councils and school boards across the state traveled to Columbus to testify in opposition to SB117.

In Texas, where similar legislation was passed, cable rates have increased. Tennessee recently decided that a similar bill was not good for the people of Tennessee.

Inspite of all this opposition, from mayors, city councils, and school boards, SB117 was passed and signed into law by Gov. Strickland 6/25/07

What is PEG? "Public - Educational - Government" Access TV
