What Users Are Saying
I have been preparing my show for tomorrow. OMG!!!! This Local Beat is cookin' with some incredible grease!! Wow!!!!
Local Beat looks like it's going to be letting me get another 20 minutes of sleep. It's all so great - and making life easier for someone who's remote on the east from the west!
I find it very useful in creating local content! The price is right, and it's not eating up inventory. It's saved my butt quite a few times in offering up important local items.
