There was once a time (late 1997/early 1998) when I had to show up at the office at 3:30 A.M. to work on the closed-captioning of "NBC News at Sunrise," the predecessor to "Early Today." Back then, the start time was 5:00. I was surprised any home viewers could even read the captions at that hour, in their bleary-eyed states. I'm sure it's even worse at 4:00. -- Jim Ellwanger <train...@ellwanger.tv> <http://www.ellwanger.tv> -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
