A week after ABC News announce they were suspending The Note during the upcoming conflict for resource reasons, they unveil their all-news, broadband internet broadcast service, ABC News Live. In addition to regular programming, it plans to offer near-raw feeds of events and pressers, sort of like CSpan. $4.95 a month if you have the connection to take it.

Will have interesting implications for political coverage, and is one more hungry mouth to feed with content. To mix a metaphor sightly, Cal Thomas said on Fox News Watch this morning it was like "adding one more item to a restaurant menu that's already ten pages long".

Turns out 60 Minutes are less than pleased with the Bill and Bob show, (kinda hard to create and ambience when they're not even in the same city, let alone eyeball-to-eyeball across a desk) and there are rumours that CBS are talking to Newt Gingrich about replacing Dole in the hope he'll be more combative (read "provocative").
