Elliot woke me up early this morning, and one of the TV stations was not broadcasting. I can’t remember the last time that happened in Cincinnati. Yesterday morning, when he also woke me up early, I noticed that during one of the early news shows, when they usually switch over to local content, I had to watch the national news anchors sit around and chat for a few minutes. I guess that the Des Moines stations don’t have their news people in that early.
