    Channel 4's music section is brilliant, I always read that. And Backchat and The Vibe on BBC, even though they are full of kids! And I use it for football news too, and quite a lot of other stuff.

    Inthe old days when there was BBC Micro Computers you could download software via TV and Radio - back then they used Audio tapes to store computer software.

    That's an interesting thing you did.

    I don't know what the news reporting is like over in Australia but I think in the Uk it was much more balanced then in the USA.

    It was scary comparing the very biased views of CNN, CBS and Fox News on Sky TV to the BBC or ITN.

    I liked Channel 4's coverage, and steered clear of ITV's. As they are both made by ITN tho (I think), one could say that ITN was impartial - ITV was broadly pro-war, Channel 4 broadly anti-war.

    Is this Ceefax? I use it for looking at what is on Top of the Pops sometimes, and also to read the comments people text in with during Question Time on Thurs nights, which is a surprisingly interesting program!

    I always read it in the morning because breakfast tv is shite. I can't be bothered with megazine anymore, just lots of people trying to out do each other in the 'more quirky than thou' stakes and it's dull. The music pages on c4 are good, the vibe on bbc is wank but you know I read it anyway, sad git that I am. :rolleyes:
    Ditto that with backchat & chatterbox with added sad git points.

    Actually, there's loads of pages I know (I do wish they'd stop changing pages numbers - I can't cope with such drastic alterations at 7am) and read but not exactly on a regular basis. Honest.
