There is an argument that the way in which national tv is split regionally means that very often the local bulletins are irrelevant to a lot of the area in which they are broadcast. Local TV is supposed to go some way to addressing that. Your point about businesses is interesting, because the whole point of Local TV is that it is accepted that there isn't really any profitable way to provide these services, but there is evidence that they are required. More to the point, TV, the most widely used media medium(!), lags behind older technology in radio and print as far as provision of local output is concerned. That is a bit silly when you think about it.
