I've been on the hunt for decent news streams so I can follow the US elections tomorrow when I wake up (in a few hours, we're into the early hours of Wednesday morning here Down Under...).
Best so far - on the hunt for BBC World, and found you need to pay to get it via RealPlayer - which is a horrid horrid thing, don't install it if you can help it. BUT!! JOY!!! I have found that with Livestation, which seems to be a flash-based player, BBC World, Al Jazeera, euronews and others are freely rebroadcast as live streams. This is a very good thing. Also, MSNBC streams straight from their website. So now I have a dilemma - the BBC's fabulously watchable coverage with David Dimbleby, Nic Gowing etc (unfortunately the mesmerising Peter Snow and his "swingometer" have retired as of the last British General Election), or the dry and wry production of MSNBC including the shiningly smart Rachel Maddow who is a breath of fresh air. Ah well, I have two screens here, maybe I'll channel hop, or have both running... Charlie who is taking a day's annual leave to watch this... _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
