Both KATU and KGW are owned

Both KATU and KGW are owned by large corporations with outlets in multiple cities in the region (i.e. Seattle, Boise, Spokane, all the smaller markets).

KPTV...well is KPTV.

Why doesn't KOIN try to be more Portland centric? It obiviously doesn't have the affiliated stations like Fisher and Belo does, so put all the reporters here in Portland and the immediate area. Maybe put a bureau on the North Coast to cover its translator base out west, and maybe something to cover the Salem/Albany/Corvallis area.

Someone mentioned that the other stations/anchors are successful because the are more "conversational" and less "professional". So focus on neighborhood news, what's going on in your neighborhood and not just another crime blotter cast.
