In the Springfield area, there are 3 local news TV stations. Channel 3 - Champaign/Urbana area…read morenews, Channel 17 - Decatur area news and Channel 20 - Springfield area news. The channel 20 news is nothing but repeats from the other 2 channels always talking about Champaign/Urbana. What happened to the Springfield area news? If you need to talk about something, do segments on health and well being or something beneficial. I do not need to know the news for a city 90 miles away. Also, the morning news crew is more interesting to listen to than the evening crew. I find I change this station because of lack of local news.

Springfield use to have news. Now it's mostly Champaign. 100 miles from Springfield. Very…read morelittle Springfield news. Most mention of Springfield is not news. It's things like public event happenings. Example - Farmers market is not news. But since the station doesn't have reporters they don't have a clue how to find and report news. But the majority of their news broadcast is usually just repeating a national news feed. The station use to have reporters. Now it's all poorly educated college interns who sould like they're high school freshmen level. The station can't even hire someone competent to prepare there crawler and banners. It's become a sport watching for misspellings, poor grammar, and nonsensical writing. WICS news has surpassed bad and moved to the depths of pitiful. How sad that a once decent news station has fallen to such poor excuse for reporting. News? You won't get it from watching this station.

The channel 4 First Alert Weather report is becoming a Joke, at first it was correct, reliable,…read morebelievable. Now it is just words, most of the time it is only correct is when the reporter is telling the viewing audience what is happening outside at that moment. I hear the person reporting a prediction say I am not ready to call this a First Alert Weather Day yet? How, when and why then will someone decide it a First Alert Weather Day? The channel 4 weather report portion of Channel News has become a waste of time watching it. It needs a serious restructuring to make it correct in reporting the weather. KTK
