Only part of Ohio hit was Cleveland and that's very far from where I live. Only problem we've had with the blackout is watching the ad nauseum reports on the news. Has anyone at the networks conidered that those not affected by the blackout aren't all that interested, and those affected can't watch it on tv anyway?

Ah, but Geo you've forgotten the cardinal rule of Journalism. If it happens to Journalists it's news! So of course anything that happens in New York (home of the networks) or any other city with a large group of journalists concentrated together (Atlanta, Los Angeles, etc...) it's absolutely vital national interest and must be covered...
