    The Local News Teaser Tonight Is

    whether severe weather will hit us. The teaser is on and I am sitting here listening to it rain cats and dogs outside.

    Hope you don't get any severe weather, but a little rain won't hurt you. We had thunderstorms last night, and the power was out in our neighborhood early this morning. Luckily, we have a generator.

        The cats... Definately the cats. The dogs, especially the big ones, make more noise when they hit, but up to and afterwards, the cats squall something awful!

          Dogs are the males, while the cats are females. Who do you think makes more noise?

            I really hate that the level of teaser spots and self-promotion on local TV has gotten so out of control. I've never watched for so long, while seeing so little actual news content as they have nowadays. And why must every story be delivered by some neo-amateur standing in front of some nondescript building where the story happened? And one of my local stations has six weather persons! Why do stations spend so much air time promoting themselves when we are already watching their station? Why waste time telling us about what they're going to be reporting on, when the same time could be spent actually reporting it?

              The 30 second sound bite tends to attract more attention. Our attention span is getting shorter.
