As time goes on your once clean site becomes more and more cluttered. The other problem for broadcast sites - they have no identity. Is it a TV site, a news site, a weather site, a sales engine, an entertainment site or a promotional campaign for the TV station? In most cases, instead of doing one thing really well we do everything poorly.

What is missing from the equation is risk takers, there aren't that many sites out there that are pushing the envelope in regards to design and user interaction; at least in the new realm and there may not be for quite some time. You may think your site is ahead of the curve in regards to design but most certainly you are behind it; we just need one person to step up and really take a risk in regards to to way we see local news portals online; no revolution without evolution. Just my thoughts, feel free to flame.
