[USMA:32224] The Biggest Looser

[Brenton]

I was watching on our Australian television, the NBC TV show The Biggest Looser.  The program being US based is of course presented only in pounds.    However, when the first episode went to air here a few weeks ago, there was no apparently no conversion to kilograms.  I have understood that the television station showing this series here received complaints from Australian viewers that they did not understand pounds.    Since that first program went to air, there has been an overlay converting their weight into kilograms during the weigh in.  This is first time I have actually noticed a US television program modified to metric.   Below, are some files you may wish to look at showing the kilogram conversion.     http://users.tpg.com.au/adsleqcf/TheBiggestLoser.wmv    (2.85MB)   http://users.tpg.com.au/adsleqcf/maurice.jpg   (212 Kb)   http://users.tpg.com.au/adsleqcf/kelly.jpg   (210 Kb)   http://users.tpg.com.au/adsleqcf/lisa.jpg   (225 Kb)   http://users.tpg.com.au/adsleqcf/ryan.jpg   (227Kb)
