Given the tiny amount of local content on these channels, you might be just as informed watching the regional news programmes on BBC and ITV.

Indeed, and it is such a shame.
There used to be an excellent local channel in Manchester called Channel M which did local television properly but even that didn't survive. I guess people feel they don't need local TV and that regional TV is good enough for them.
That said, if the quality is poor then people aren't going to watch it anyway and I have to be honest and say I've never watched the local channel since it first went on air, and one reason is because it is not on Virgin Media.
