We have lots of news channels and only one weather channel. In my opinion we don,t need storm series until after midnight. Please keep the local on the 8ths at all othe times.

TV channels exist to make money for their owners. The way they may money is that they sell advertising. The price of advertising depends on the number of viewers who actually see the advertisement. Channels user rating services to measure their viewership in order to support the prices they charge their advertisers.

The problem that the Weather Channel has is that they provide information that can be neatly packaged in segments of a few minutes length. They simply repeat those segments continuously (weather on the 8’s). That’s good for viewers who want to get a weather forecast. But it’s not good for the Weather Channel because it means that they can’t retain viewers – viewers turn on the Weather Channel to watch a segment in order to see what the weather is going to be, and then they switch back to programming on some other channel.

The Weather Channel wants to increase their advertising rates in order to increase their revenue. And to do that, they need to migrate to programming that will hold viewers on the Weather Channel. Hence, you are seeing things like Weather Channel movies (featuring movies with notable weather-related themes) for example.

How can i make a website which shows breaking news all the time…Like Most of the news are from reuters,ani,etc….

Can i show the same news on my website?
And what do i need to do?

That is called a RSS feed, and it is just an application you can add to your website. You can try the website link below. Hope it helps!

I’m applying to colleges right now and I have different majors in my mind, mostly business/marketing. I’m a huge fan of sports and I’m wondering what sports news reporters major in in college?

Journalism would be good.

Often the networks will play small segments from a speech, examples being Obama in Elko Nevada and McCains Michigan town-hall meeting
today. I say air these speeches live without commercials all day and cut back on the commentary and political shows. Especial for Headline news.
Hey i live in Elko!

That’s why we have C-Span, which does a lot of that during the course of a campaign. Check the Web site to see what the schedule is.

As for the other channels, they have bills to pay. They know showing a 20-minute speech is going to turn some viewers off, so they show highlights. Plus, stump speeches often are the same from day to day — kind of like hearing the same concert over and over again.

When you watch the news or weather channel, there is always an animation banner with words, at the bottom of your tv screen. I What kind of program do they use to make those banners ?

Examples of cast members who use these banners. Fox News, The Weather Channel, CNN, HLN, And WWE.

it had to search for it, but the program they probably use is Avid Deko, check their website: http://www.avid.com/US/products/family/Deko

When you can decide show the top news. How does facebook select the people to be shown on top news feed?

The News Feed algorithm bases this on a few factors: how many friends are commenting on a certain piece of content, who posted the content, and what type of content it is (e.g. photo, video, or status update).

Just a question out of curiousty and is probably going to get an enraged and perhaps deranged debate going lol. Is it CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, BBC News, Aljazerra, Sky News and the list keeps going lol. Which news do you find to be the most unbiased?

I’ve never found a source I didn’t think was biased, I don’t think there is one. If the contrast between the American sources wasn’t extreme enough try comparing both the right and left views in the U.S. to the views of the same events in, say, the London Times, the Asian Times (fm China), Asian Age (fm India), Der Spiegel (fm Germany), and the Gulf Times (fm Qatar). I try to get as many viewpoints as possible and look for commonalities, at least then I’ve got a shot at getting some actual facts despite the spins.
