- In its 2004 biannual news consumption survey, the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press, fully 59% of Americans surveyed said they watched local TV news "regularly," compared with 57% in 2002. That is also higher than the percentage of Americans who say they "regularly" go to any other news outlet. This leveling off, moreover, comes after a period of steep decline. In 1993, 76% of Americans said they were "regular" local news viewers. That fell to 65% in 1996 and 56% in 2000.
It's comforting to know that in this crazy world, America still makes room for Ron Burgundy.

I knew this. A few years ago, a news crew caught me and my sister at Target on December 24th buying last minute Christmas stuff. At least twenty people stopped us in the next week or so to tell us about our broadcasting feature on procrastination. I never saw it. I'm not sure I could find Channel 2 on my television. If they'd had streaming content on thier website back then, maybe I would have been able to see it.
