At some point maybe there will be a Netflix for news. Where you pay per month and get a decent assortment. It would be awkward because of historic norms about newspaper ownership and what happens when they are all owned by one entity, plus they are supposed to be local after all. I think for it to work the platform would need to be a neutral third party business. Apple could totally make it work, they have the cash.

Local TV is not that bad.

In Houston I think my ranking would be 2(kprc, an nbc affiliate), 13(ktrk, an abc affiliate), 26(a fox affiliate), and then 11(khou, a cbs affiliate). In actuality all of them are almost equal.
