Living between Cincy and Dayton with only an antennae TV (Monroe), we got both station sets quite clearly with our antennae pointed toward Cincy.
My parents watched Cincy news, I watched Dayton news, and since I spent a lot of time in and around Dayton as a kid, I never really liked to watch Cincy news because I had no clue where the stuff they were talking about was. With Dayton news, I always knew what they were talking about in general, and it seemed to cover more Butler/Warren while Cincy focused on NKY and east of the city, which I knew little to nothing about.
Now I know better, but Channel 2 is still my fav.

(yes, sometimes I still watch "the local trash" at 5)
