Stuff that makes weekday TV newscasts wouldn't even get a mention during weekend newscasts.
Minor injury crashes and non-injury- vacant house fires are the first to suffer when the workweek ends.
I KNOW these occur on weekends- but they're rarely covered.
Hell- I've covered significant weekend shootings that weren't even reported UNTIL the following Monday when newsroom staffing is back to normal (two weekends ago- Independence- for example).
There's every bit as much spot news on weekends as during the week- your news sources just don't have the people on duty to cover it.
If there's no "official" police press release- it apparently didn't happen!
There's significant news many weekends that either gets no or under-reported. That's even applied to some weather events too.
Remember- no TV or radio station or newspaper covers Kansas City area overnight weekend news and weather like CSW....
