question about Newsworld International and Al Gore TV
When Al Gore TV starts, will Newsworld International still be broadcast in Canada or will Newsworld International then cease to exist?

1. The latter
A real news station is being killed to create "news-y-tainment" for teen hipsters.

2. Yes and No... Newsworld International
was created for the U.S. market, but the CBC (which runs NWI) has a domestic 24-news channel called "CBC Newsworld" which airs some of the same shows but no international newscasts (though it does air the BBC) and lot of domestic programs similar to what you'd find on CNN (Political roundtables, business news, etc.)

3. Too late..irrelevant..probably unavailable to most people
and by the time it gets going (if ever) people will not even notice..

If Kerry becomes president, and the Fairness Doctrine can somehow get re-instated, that "network" becomes unnecessary...
