Shouldn't that be 15/7? I went to the site to check out the stream. Since CBS online recently went to a subscription model I wanted to see if this streaming news channel was free or was for subscribers. It was free, but when I tuned in the feed was in a bloc of commercials. I'm not opposed to an ad supported model, but one reason we switch from TV to the internet for news is that the commercial blocs run too long. If they ran story-commercial-story-commercial it would not be so annoying. In this case I gave up during the third commercial. -- -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
