@BrendanFinan How does "We Are Iowa" not count as local news? WOI-DT is local to Des Moines. The office is in Ames, which is just outside of Des Moines, & their studio is in Des Moines, & the transmitter is in Alleman. It's all within the Des Moines metro area. How much more local do they need to get?
@ChurlishGambit Local news sources are being ambiguous about the result because of the spurious remaining objections from Unity Point. I don't think it's worth splitting hairs at this point though
