1. Paris Commune -- French Tv
   Where ''The Commune'' may have bitten off more that it can comfortably masticate is in its critique of television news. The technique of the two reporters, who stick their microphone in the faces of assorted communards and demand, ''Who are you and what are you doing?,'' is obtrusive and alienating, and it seems to refer to an earlier, more naïve period when television journalism was rooted in the cinéma vérité style of the 1960's -- when Mr. Watkins was a producer for the BBC. Only C-Span would now broadcast the long, uninterrupted discourses that Mr. Watkins presents as a staple of Commune TV. Today's cable news channels would reduce them each to 10-second sound bites surrounded by flashy graphics and framed by running news tickers. Contemporary news channels present a kind of simultaneous reductiveness and overload that squelches reflection and analysis far more thoroughly than the blatant political partisanship of Mr. Watkins's fictional reporters.
2. Cathode Ray Tube -- Crt Tvs
   Digital camera makers use an interface known as ITU-R601, an international standard for cathode ray tube (CRT) TVs that operates at 30Hz. This standard is incompatible with LCDs, which normally run at 60Hz. Manufacturers have had to reconcile the difference either by compressing the images or by manipulating the signal. However, such approaches will only work with LCDs having a resolution of qVGA(320 x 240 pixels) or less. Samsung’s new LCD operates on 30Hz, allowing VGA images to be obtained from a digital camera without having to create another interface.
3. Live Tv
   FOX News Channel Live has been added into Sprint TV at no extra charge and marks FNC's first foray into providing wireless content. Sprint TV (channel 1), including FOX News Channel Live, is available on the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network for $9.99 per month. Sprint TV is powered by Idetic. Together, Sprint and Idetic pioneered the launch of live television to the U.S. mobile consumer in 2003.

5. Don Cherry -- Television
   Over his career on television, Cherry has generated significant controversy about both hockey and politics.[6][7] In January 2004, on the subject of visors, Cherry said on Coach's Corner: "Most of the guys that wear them are Europeans and French guys." This statement triggered an investigation by the federal Official Languages Commissioner, and protests by French-Canadians. CBC consequently imposed a seven-second delay on Hockey Night in Canada. He was somewhat vindicated when a study was published that showed the majority of visor users in the NHL were indeed French-Canadians and Europeans.[8].
