Build a platform that surfaces relevant local news from multiple sources. Viewers struggle to find comprehensive local coverage.

Why now

Local news is important but increasingly fragmented across platforms.

Effort
A few weeks

Viewers want local news but must check multiple apps and sites. An aggregator could organize stories by location and importance.

The service would curate content from TV, radio, and digital sources. Users could follow specific topics or areas.

Local advertisers would pay for targeted placements.

Start with a single metro area. Expand based on traction.

The risk is news outlets blocking aggregation.
