I enjoy listening to the news broadcast as a podcast. And I appreciate the daily news brief when the full episode is not available. I do wish the daily news brief included the weather forecast for the day.
But why is it a day behind? Who wants to listen to day-old news. It used to be that new episodes were updated within an hour after they aired, but now it’s about 24 hours later. Can someone fix this?
I love news especially local news. The 0430 news cast always have play issues and the 6am news is always a day behind. As for the overall podcast I enjoy listening.
I love it
I am a big podcast listener, and now I can catch up on the news while I exercise or am commuting. And there are fewer commercials.
