The End of an Era

At midnight EDT tonight (11pm CDT) Newsworld International will go off the air. Due to new ownership (they were bought out by Al Gore), the station will go in a "different" direction.

I discovered the news channel about two years ago, and being a bit of a news nerd, I fell in love with it immediately. It took the place of the Weather Channel as my favorite station. Where else could you watch Japanese news in English? :)

Thanks, NWI. You gave me perspectives on issues I wasn't able to see on US news stations. You will be missed greatly, and I hope you guys can find your way back to the American audiences who love your broadcasts.
