Do you watch your local news programme(s)?

I'm currently watching BBC South Today - a great way to highlight what a gooseberry fool area I live in. Focusing on all the bad points, and other 'news' that is of no interest to anyone. The presenter is also highly annoying - revelling in her smugness, and loving the fact that she's the main presenter. Ed Miliband was in the studio last week, and her constant interrupting and smarminess was embarrassing.

I don't even dare look at the ITV version, although I think Fred from How2 presents it. :lol:

Do you watch your local news? Is it genuinely insightful and interesting? Always seems like a massive waste of time to me.

No. The news depresses me.

Don't watch the news -> Don't get depressed

Suzanne Verdi is better though, eh?

BBC London. 8-)

Local news always seems so boring, so I try and avoid it when I can.

Yes.

Harry Gration :wub:

No, because both Nick Owen and Bob Warman can strawberry float right off.

Midlands Today :wub:

Yes, but North West Tonight just isn't the same without Gordon Burns.

Damn right I do

Usually catch BBC Northern Ireland a couple of times a week.

Nah, it's ruddy boring in the London area. Such a huge area and it focus on crap issues.

I very rarely watch Look North

True fact I've been on the local news a total of 6 times including the unforgettable time when my foot had a staring role.

To answer the question I probably watch look east or anglia news about once a week.

I get BBC London in my area, which is a little bit annoying as I'm nowhere near London.

I don't. Don't really watch any news stuff .. Get odd stuff from BBC website and as bad as it is alot of recent breaking news stuff comes from here....... :shifty:

Welsh news is frequently embarassing to watch. This is mainly because strawberry float all of interest happens in Wales, so a lot of coverage is made through the most tenuous of links. A Scottish woman getting murdered on holiday in Italy will find its way onto Welsh news because she happened to have studied for a bit in Aberystwyth three years ago, for instance.
