The smallest media market in the United States, Glendive, Montana's, has a news station that serves just over 9,000 people.
We have one that serves rural western Minnesota.. and the top news story of the day?
Arv Schlammenhuerchter, of Clarissa, Minnesota, was injured when he fell asleep at the wheel of his combine and it rolled on a steep ditch. We have Tracy Rumpuswelter live at the scene. (Cuts to a scene of Tracy, dressed like a professional field reporter, in a pig sty full of various fecal matter with Arv's wife, Bertrum, offering bars and coffee to onlookers in the background)...
Oh, how I love the "local" news.
