It really p***es me off when I see reporters from BBC south east standing in an empty field in the dark reporting upon some trivia or other. How it contibutes to the news (usually just a contrived item to fill the allotted time) I fail to understand.
Why do we even bother with local tv? There is very little of interest - just knocking the NHS, immigrants, or the education system whilst falling over themselves promoting ukip or some minor royalty. If a major news item occurs in the locality its reported on the BBC main news (then repeated verbatim five minutes later on the local). The whole thing is a waste of time and my licence fee.
