Part of my cable package is Channel 1 - Spectrum news. Not sure but I think Spectrum is Charter.

I’m really impressed for several reasons. The news is seriously local with only a nod to national and world news. The readers look and sound like real people, and in fact the main anchor is a woman who is retired from roller derby. She’s very good but no media bimbo. The readers have accents - they sound like LA. Local sports teams get lots of play.

And NO opinionated bloviators. Works for me - I don’t want opinions, I want facts.

Does your cable service offer anything like it?

Here, Spectrum's local news is NY1. When it was Time Warner it was somewhat better, but it's still good. Like your description of it.
