Expand local sports coverage on the newscasts back to the length and prominence it had in the 1980's.
I would in particular scrap the all-morning news blocks that run on weekends. Not enough legitimate news happens in my town to f ill up an hour or more every day. Cut the local newscasts to an hour or two in the morning, and half an hour at 6 and 11. The dustiest rerun of almost anything would be an improvement. It seems they are becoming more and more numerous. Get rid of these long blocks of paid programm ing. (so many more people there than WFAA has with Victory Park in Dallas) 1. (this market has so many stations we could put nearly all of them on the air) Put one of the local newscasts in a sidewalk studio in Sundance Square in Downtown Fort Worth. (could be a rebroadcast of newscasts with traffic and weather updates 24/7 in some way along with live news even ts, maybe some simple talk shows and other exclusive programming) Put more national subchannels on the air and promote the idea of cutting cable. (there's way too much focus on Dallas) Put a 24/7 local news channel of some kind on someone's subchannel.
(they've all had deep staff cuts in the past 5 years) Put more news resources in the suburbs.
Dallas-Fort Worth market: Rebuild the news staffs at all the affiliates. Get a dedicated ABC station for this market (Greenville-Spartanburg) so that we no longer have to be tethered to 13-WLOS in Asheville, which has an unhealthy (albeit understandable) focus on WNC news. That Seven on Your Side stuff is getting somewhat old, at least to me. If you had your way, what would you do in your market? What I would do in mine: 1.
