		<title>Noise wars</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The boom boom began at about 8 p.m. At first, I thought I’d left a TV on in the basement. One step onto my patio revealed the true source of the racket.

		<description><![CDATA[An August 2009 report from In-Stat may provide some guidance for stations looking to enter the mobile TV business.

		<title>Broadcasters slash expenses no matter the cost</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Okay, it&#8217;s an over-the-top headline, but I wanted to capture your attention. I’ve recently been struck by the seemingly absurd ways company managers try to cut operating costs. Sure, we’ve all read or experienced the layoffs, staff reductions, salary cuts and furloughs.

		<title>Your TV is spying on you</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There is an absolutely awful movie with the title, “I know what you did last summer.” Well now that kind of “know all” function may about to be installed on your TV.
