First Local

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

First Local is a half hour television news and information program produced by Rogers TV. The program design is based upon that of a television newscast. In some communities the program is daily, others it is a weekly or bi-weekly program.

Generally each program incorporates local news, sports and weather information. As with most shows on Rogers TV it is produced using the resources of volunteers from the community.
