As if you didn't get enough of local anchorpersons Maria Otokoyama Rubenstein-Fratelli and Dirk Handsomeness from the rabbit ears atop your TV set, local news stations are now started trickling into the digital realm.
First, they appeared on YouTube. Today, Verizon Wireless announced Local TV Video, news, sport and weather from assorted local affiliates from New York, NY to Parkersburg, WV, on its V Cast mobile video service. My guess is that you don't have to be in the vicinity to enjoy it either—now you can catch the cat fashion show or those Little League highlights you've been missing right on that tiny screen on your cellphone. Jump for the list, to see if your local blow-dry boys made the cut. – Wilson Rothman
