That's a problem, in my opinion. Corvallis (and all the rest of the repeater stations) deserves a local station that broadcasts local news that affects local communities. I always thought it would be so awesome if OPB used some of their airtime for locally-produced content that aired on their respective stations. Corvallis news for Corvallis, Tillamook news of Tillamook, etc. Excellent content could be rebroadcast to the region, but instead we get All Things Considered.
