I wouldn't count on a bigger story from WCAX Mike. TV news is all about the sound bite. They don't do anything in-depth because the majority of people (so they believe) don't pay attention to such stuff and it's all about ratings. If you notice the teasers during commercial breaks, even the local news media try to draw you in with some sensationalized nugget "Coming up at 11" and if you actually wait until 11 to see what the big deal is, often it's either not such a big deal or  not much info.

Sadly, no one in Chittenden County really cares about the pottery stolen from the Fairfax Historical Society cache, but Vt's 13 OTHER counties are supposed to sit through and care about countless stories on the daily doings of the Mayor of Burlington! I wouldn't want to be the newsroom editor/producer at any of the local stations having to decide what's news on any given day since so many people like to complain & not in a good way, but I think I can safely say that all of Vt., could do with a little less of "All Burlington area all the time." unless of course it's something tragic & people are raped, maimed, or killed. That draws attention.
