There’s a ratings battle in progress among local TV stations — not an unusual occurrence, but there are a few new developments:

• NBC-29 is pushing to have out-of-market NBC affiliates taken off local cable outlets.
• TV3 is going for Waynesboro-Staunton-Augusta viewers with more news coverage of the area.
• NBC-29 has started a 24-hour weather channel for its coverage area, with lots of Valley readings and forecasts.
• TV3 is doing significant Winchester-area news coverage with its TV3-Winchester operation.
