Teen Kids News

Any of you guys watch it? It's this newsmagazine aimed at the grade-school audience. It starts out with the major headlines of the week, then stories delving into to the Eyewitness News format created by the great Al Primo (who, by the way, created TKN). Plus a sports-related story, a game called Word (you figure out the word's definition among 3) and special segments like "Make the Grade", tips to better yourself in school (axed this season, I think), technology reports from the "Cyberguy" (axed, too), and the Weekly Reader Insider's Poll (needs no explanation). Any of you watch it? I think it leaves something to be desired, like a new music theme.

I never seen it, but Ill check it out real quick.
The only "kids" news Ive ever seen is the channel 1 news in the morning at my school. And it is quite boring(even though I found out that CNN's Anderson Cooper got his start on channel 1 news!).

OK, well, which city do you live in? I can pinpoint it for you. Otherwise, you'll have to make do with that Google vid result. ;D

Yeah, that's it. And it'll be on WYFF4 tomorrow @ 11:30 am (same as WESH2's times - btw, they're sister stations.) ;D

Well, that depends on how you look at it. Right now, they are producing new eppies. The headlines are from this week however. The appearance is bland (from that Google link [TinyURL]), but the content's good. So, you'll just have to see. ;)

Well, it comes on in a couple of hours(at press time), so I might check it out.
Ill just find it funny if they start off by talking about the serious issues(like Iran) and then go into stupid stories(like "Paris Hilton is getting married AGAIN") or something. ;D

Ill go check out Sam's news show. And may I ask real quick: Why are there so many school news makers (like you guys) that are MITM fans? I just find that a little odd. ;D

I saw that show... It's ok if you want liberal-socialist views that offer no real insight to the world around you, and gives you the first 3 sentences from a AP Press report, and moves on to the next topic...

different strokes for different folks. :)

@Sam: Man, I just checked on the site what you do for the school's news, and you seem like you have the hardest job of all! Kudos to you :)

LOL Thanks Tony. I guess people that are smart enough to be informed about the world are smart enough to appreciate MITM's humor.

Getting back on track here, I'm glad to see they have some new production music cuts, but the theme music as a whole needs to be vastly updated. Either that or get a new news music package. They could update the graphics too to match the headlines card and that spiraly-esque variation. :D
