Walter, that was a riveting story you have to admit. ;)

Are there any nationally produced 24-hour cable news channels in the Netherlands? Part of the problem is they have to fill so many hours. I dont believe the 1/2 hour CBS, NBC, ABC nightly news shows give the same attention to the infotainment stuff. Whats new is the advent of the terribly admin-friendly Faux channel.

>During my worktime in NA, often the TV is tuned to CNN or FOX. One day, there was a news item about a lady who dissapeared a day before her marriage, leaving her fiancee as a suspect. She turned up a couple of days later explaning that she did not want to marry him. While of course dramatic for the persons involved, is it really neccesary to rehash the whole story each hour of the day ?? Isn't there more important news to broadcast ??
