Why does Fox9 news spend a portion of the evening news talking about American Idol?  Is this a requirement of the parent media conglomerate?  I enjoy American Idol(the audition episodes), but I don't need the news to keep me updated on the progress.  I expect the local news to cover events/topics concerning Minnesota.  A television program like American Idol does not need advertising, especially from Minnesota local news.  It makes me so angry when Fox9 wraps up with dribble about a freaking television show, every night.  It's pathetic.
American Idol is not local news.

I believe it is inappropriate for a local news channel to advertise for a prime time television show.
