This is so right, I cannot give this enough love. This is applies not just to TV broadcasters, but radio broadcasters as well. The ones that know their areas that they're broadcasting to, know sources, know how to tell the story well, are the ones that I prefer over people merely reading scripts written for them off a screen, be it autocue or computer screen.
WCVB - Boston was quite impressive as well. I think breaking news always exposes the true reporter or presenter for what they are. Are you only good at reading an autocue or do you truly know where you live, locations or officials, sources to get info and can you string a sentence together and still provide relevant information?
