On an average day's 30 min local TV 'news' program here in the Southern Nevada market, roughly 15% of it is international/national/local hard news, 15% is weather, 20% is some special-segment/feel-good/'public-interest' piece, 10% is traffic, and the remaining 40% is commercials. A lot of crazy stuff occurs in Henderson that doesn't get covered, because the local media is too busy trying to cover the craziness in LV & NLV, though due to LV craziness, plenty of NLV craziness is also missed.

Local LEA PIOs provide great info sound-bites, but local government politics (promoting an image of fun & safety) +LE Admin limits the types of press releases to where they tend to be provided only if it's a major incident that due to location or other specifics, the public is already aware of, they need the public's help, they want the public to stay-away from an area, or they're announcing they've made an arrest. They're mostly dependent these days on getting tipped-off by social media, and in the case of TV, if they can't get some sort of video or even still-image to show, they won't go with the story at all, or will tend to downplay it.
