I've always hear complaints about how the media is too negative. If we had a station catering to positive news stories - what's actually working right with the City, State, Nation, and World - could it be a viable news station?
Example: "The Northside of Jacksonville is a very safe place compared to many different places in the world. Although there was a bit of crime, that crime represents an extremely tiny portion of the population. Thousands of people manage to still live there and come out alive. A lot of the people there even work at the same place you work and they still manage to come to work."

cityimprov,
i actaully think it's VERY viable. many people don't the news b/c it can ne depresseing/cause anxiety.
a mostly "good news" news cast would likely have the opposite effect.
Extreme home makeover, CBN, CNN's heroes, and countless others have tapped into the good news & good will market.
Just think it's a matter of time.
