Battlestar Galactica Returns to Stellar Ratings

Battlestar Galactica by Carole Segal/Sci Fi Channel

Battlestar Galactica roared back into action Friday night, as the Season 4 premiere delivered more than 2.1 million total viewers — a 19 percent increase over the January 2007 bow of Season 3.5. BSG also emerged as cable's No. 1 prime-time program in Sci Fi Channel's key 25-54 demo.

Numbers-wise, Battlestar also proved once and for all its appeal to womenfolk, scoring its best-ever female audience when 606,000 women 18-49 tuned in. — MWM

Live television is exciting because anything can happen. Most exciting of all is when 'respectable' television journalists succumb to the unexpected (they trip, get mauled by animals, lit aflame, etc.) right there on your TV. Here is a compilation video I made of everything tragic that could possibly happen to a television news reporter.

Bird radio gives you wings

Bird radio gives you wings with smoking hot tunes

IF you're sick of the inane drivel that comes out of commercial radio, a unique British radio station may be the answer.

The Birdsong Station - as the name suggests - broadcasts nothing but the sound of birds.

Half a million listeners have tuned in to the station with directors now satisfying public demand by updating the recording.

The station plays a 20 minute-long recording of birds singing in chorus on a continuous loop.
