I guess it'd be totally out of the question to just run a news hour? I mean it's not as though actual news (rather than comment) is available to any massive extent at 9pm. I see that they're doing precisely than at 10pm. I guess I'm just used to a world in which BBC News Channel (the UK version) and Sky News both just run news bulletins in rotation with only a hint of personality shows. Indeed their big fights tend to be over who gets the next days papers first to review.
Incidentally, I'm just about to return to the UK after a month of watching much less television than usual while I travelled around the US. I have two key observations: 1. Barely any hotel or motel has any kind of understanding of aspect rations. They all have widescreen TVs, but mostly they're somehow stretching the picture wrongly even though it too is widescreen. And this has very little bearing on how expensive or not the room is. The best adjusted TV I came across was in a dirt cheap motel. (I'd have a moan about HD downgraded to analogue SD before it gets delivered to the room's HD TV, but that'd be too easy). 2, For the entire 29 days of my trip, I don't think I've seen CNN cover anything apart from that Malaysian plane. Right now, Anderson Cooper is probably bored to tears as he conducts yet another feature on it. They were showing how they found the Titanic earlier because that's relevant... Sometimes, they just make it easy for Fox to make fun of the "Plane Channel", Adam On Tue, Apr 15, 2014 at 9:18 PM, Kevin M. <[email protected]> wrote: > At least no single individual will take over the timeslot.
