Crime Stories too Much?

Many local news stations report mainly on crime stories.  One station in particular, WAVE, focused mainly on crime stories and almost half of the show would be crime stories.  It usually averaged about 6 crime stories a night.  This is not good.  The station needs to focus on the other more important news stories happening in the local community.  They may be reporting solely on crime stories just because they are very easy to report.  They just have to play some B-Roll and interview a few people.  However, we do know that the local news stations focus too much on local crime stories.
