I mean, Last Week Tonight with John Oliver?

Local news would be cool delivered that way, I’d tune in again.

He was on Conan O'Brien's podcast a few years back explaining this. While negotiating the contract with HBO, HBO wanted more shows per year, but John held firm saying it would severely impact the quality of the show. Because of the time it takes to research and all of that, they really can only do so many shows per year.
