Comcast Says It May Spin Off Cable Networks

HANDMADE: Britain's Best Woodworker will not be returning for a third series, with the door open for Channel 4 to return to the show in the future. Although I enjoyed the show, I wondered what they did with the finished products. Trees gave their life for the show and many of the creations were unstable or poorly finished.

I would categorize this as a minor peeve but an irritating one. Verizon is my cable TV provider. Last month, Verizon informed me of a mandatory cable box upgrade so I dutitfully upgraded. The cable box footprint is considerably smaller (yah!) but the old box had a digital clock that is missing from the new box, which is highly inconvenient. It's especially annoying because the clock was positioned perfectly, in sightline, when I entered the room. Now I'm going to have to buy a clock to replace it.

Andrea Mitchell announced this afternoon that she will be stepping away from anchoring her Noon news show after the inauguration to concentrate on a reporting-focus role. To be honest, there were times I cringed during her show. Andrea had a habit of inserting awkward pauses during a question so that the guest would begin answering before she finished the question. Andrea was not a good fit as an anchor. However, when Andrea was present during a press conference, her questioning was very confident and smooth so I got the impression she wasn't comfortable in the anchor chair.
