@shyduroff They still exist but the local aspect is missing in some places, with satellite automation. Awful right-wing and religious nonsense abounds—but not exclusively. There are local stations with diverse formats in some markets.

It's just not like when we were growing up—but then, what is?

Baseball and farm radio exist. Though I miss Maynard Speece! #wcco #radio #Minnesota

@rlmartstudio @mlncn So what has the Mpls City Council done in response to getting exposed by the DoJ? I have heard nothing about it on Twin Cities news. I don’t expect a plan yet, but I do expect local news to keep the heat on the process. Hey @startribune and #WCCO what’s up? This article doesn’t really count: https://www.startribune.com/minneapolis-public-safety-commissioner-says-he-lacks-staff-to-transform-public-safety/600286874/

@RiaResists @Radical_EgoCom Yes, amazingly that was reported at the time with pictures. However, Twin Cities TV, like #WCCO, fail to remind us of that now that fascists are in charge of the Republican Party.

Xcel Energy is holding a press conference announcing the temporary shutdown of the #Monticello #nuclear power plant to fix a #tritium leak. Xcel’s Chris Clark says there is no threat to groundwater in the area and he also doesn’t anticipate any impact on electric service. #wcco

WCCO is asking Mall of America customers how they feel about their safety while they shop AT THE MALL. Can't be feeling too unsafe if you're willing to show up after 3 lockdowns at the mall in a year, including a shooting death yesterday. #moa #minnesota #wcco

Tonight on @WCCO@twitter.com at 6 - we also hear from the person whose question to Dr. Alexander prompted his responses.

Amity Foster says it was wild watching the events unfold.

That this emergency press conference was mobilized to defend his twitter storm is probably weirder than anything he tweeted.

Happening now- a number of MPLS orgs, including Agape, A Mothers Love and UCMT are speaking in defense of Minneapolis Community Safety Comissioner Cedric Alexander.

“I didn’t see anything said wrong,” said Al Flowers of UCMT. @wcco@twitter.com #wcco
