      The news networks might have the same ownership & are sharing content to keep readers/viewers happy, without having to pay for local reporting.

      One of our local news outlets does this because new ownership cut their budget. They use nationwide stories from other partner networks to cover the broadcast time or publication quota.

      It kinda sucks living in an area where you can’t get local news.

      Readers in Texas might be interested in the story just like we are here…
