BREAKING NEWS: It's football time!
On October 18, 2014, the news station WDRB had "no new" as stated by the group. It was all football. All of the stories listed for that night of news were online, coming to a total of 12, one third of which was fluff. Other news stations, such as WLKY, WHAS, and WAVE all produced stories on the television that night.
That night for WDRB was all sports coverage. The ACC (Atlantic Coast Conference) website shows that the event covered was a Red-White scrimmage between U of L and NC State. (We won, by the way.)
While this event is locally relevant, does it fulfill the yardstick of newsworthiness? As local news, no. If WDRB had a sports block to cover that story in, then it would be perfectly acceptable.
