Eh, depends on your local stations and why you’re watching, I guess. The local morning news shows in my area all pretty much follow the same formula, everything’s broken up into easily digestible ~10 minute chunks so that the average person heading out the door to work/school can get a couple of top headlines, today’s weather, and the traffic report in just a few minutes no matter when they tune in. If you actually want to sit down and watch all of the news or get the full weather forecast, this format can be annoying.
