On Exile
Now that I apparently have an exit from the every so interesting sensation that my very bones are eating their way out of me, I thought I might turn my semi-addled senses to the subject of how much I miss my Arab sats. Or Sat TV in general.
US of A broadcast news media really has become very poor quality sensationalistic navel gazing rubbish. All things are a crisis, any bloody little storm is an occasion to breathlessly blither on about stocking up, etc. etc. etc.
I think I might put my eyes out if I have to watch another over-produced pointless set of graphics.
I do not believe is is mere snobbishness on my part to say that the industry desperately needs to be saved from itself.

agreed. 100% agreed.
mayhaps we should start the Aqoul Sat Service (ASS) with only an hour or two of news a day that's actually important and well thought out. the rest of the time we'll show lebanese pop tarts, rai concerts, emerging markets analysis, and, late at night, "veiled vixens gone wild" just to spice things up.
on the weekends we can show the old french foreign legion movies of the last century. i think this channel could be a big hit!

Well, the problem is we're a small market.

I am afraid that your summary is spot on.
