First >Play, now NWI?

   Discussion: First >Play, now NWI?
Joe Navratil · 20 years, 3 months ago
So I was slightly annoyed that I managed to find >Play on NWI just a few weeks before their "season" ended and they went into replay mode (side note: the Eric Idle show rerun was great). Turns out that it probably doesn't matter, because:

The New York Observer reports today that Al Gore and his business partner, entrepreneur and Democratic fundraiser Joel Hyatt (the founder of Hyatt Legal Services) will acquire Newsworld International (NWI) for around $70 million from the French company Vivendi. For now NWI is only available in around 20 million homes (it�s only on a few cable systems and DirecTV) and will continue in its current format. But that will soon change. Gore�s goal is to change the channel �into a youth-oriented public-affairs channel.�

(seen here.)

Y'know, when I think of Al Gore, I think of his splendid telegeneic charisma. Don't you?

Heh.. yeah, I just got DirecTV and watched the Eric Idle show too. I think I saw hKath in the audience. :)

Not a big loss if I don't manage to see another episode, though.
