News Doesn't Take a Holiday

The problem with news is it doesn’t take the holidays off, even when TV stations do.

A building in Davenport, Iowa, collapsed over the holiday weekend, but viewers were not getting coverage from local news.

A viewer in Davenport tells FTVLive that WQAD usually has an 11am newscast but didn’t air one Monday, as it appears they took the holiday off.

KWQC, has a 12 pm newscast, but they also didn’t air the newscast and had tennis on instead.

The viewer tells FTVLive that the local stations were slow to cover a major breaking news story.

And yet, some TV bosses can’t figure out why viewers are tunning out local news?
