Better than the current situation, but we'll see what happens. The local stories focus on Smith being a "conservative," but this a state where Larry Hogan is considered a conservative. One local website reported he tore into his new staff and told them they should be more like the local Fox affiliate he owns (I have a link, but behind a paywall). For what it's worth, Fox 45 has committed actual acts of journalism with their Project Baltimore series exposing the corruption in city schools and local government. They were instrumental in the state school superintendent's decision to not seek a second term. Still expecting any Maryland conservative outlet to be never Trump, but it may be a step in the right direction.
