Local newscast. Um, that's it. It's a local newscast. Not encyclopaedic. Not notable. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 13:15, 25 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

So what's wrong with an article on this? Fellow people that watch the show can find it informative. It's not just "local", since it is simulcast on the web. Many of the viewers are either military or have military spouses and use it to keep up on local news when they are stationed elsewhere. Shaw AFB is located less than 40 miles away from the news station. BlueChainsawMan (talk) 14:57, 25 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - Little to no coverage, fails to meet the general notability guideline. Jeffrey Mall (talk • contribs) - 14:59, 25 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
So, Today in L.A. is notable, non-local, and encyclopaedic? I've never heard of it. BlueChainsawMan (talk) 15:15, 25 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete The regional Emmy made me step back and ask myself if that award made this show notable, I don't think so. Without additional coverage in reliable sources the regional Emmy just isn't enough. The existance of an article of a similar type of program in a different market does not have anything to do with this article. Just because that article exists doesn't mean this one should. ~~ GB fan ~~ talk 18:22, 25 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
So what would make it more reliable? Contact with an anchor? So an innovative concept that has actually won an award for such isn't enough? BlueChainsawMan (talk) 18:34, 25 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- To show that the show is notable, find significant coverage from reliable sources that are independent of the subject. You might also be interested in an essay that has been written about TV programming. ~~ GB fan ~~ talk 20:05, 25 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete as a non-notable newscast. Bfigura (talk) 21:00, 25 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
