Angela Grant has it right.
I think a “newscast” on the Internet is the inappropriate repurposing of TV to the Web. If I want to view a string of videos, I want them to be of my choosing.

I’ve looked at a lot of the Web newscasts and I have difficulty staying with them to the end, even if they are not longer than five minutes.
