An easy way for those of you living abroad with high speed Internet to catch up with Indian Television (including Live WC 2007).
http://wwitv.com/ - Click India in the left tab and you have list of Indian channels. Doordarshan shows the matches. I thank Krishnan for sending me this link.
Now after making sure DD was working, I browsed through the list of the other channels available and my eyes lit up when I chanced upon CNBC TV18- the Indian chapter of the popular business news channel. With fingers crossed I clicked on the link, held my breath as the video started to stream into my WinAmp player... buffering 90%... 95%... 100%...
...bingo!
Very few in this world (now that I think about it, I guess only Vijay) would understand what exactly I'm talking about... it is the reason why I started watching News on TV with zest ... a story that goes back to my first year in college ... a story that goes back to the days when Headlines Today was still a nascent news channel...
... Now, with a little bit of research, I'm sure many in this world will understand what I'm talking about!

Mithali Mukherjee seems to have stolen your heart da Mars.. Guess every channel has its own babe - thats how u gather part of the TV audience i guess - Melissa Theuriau for example - simply cant imagine the plight of the newsreaders sitting beside her - they will be kicked out of their jobs with high probability, for not concentrating on their jobs!!! Anyway, I am starved due to the lack of sports - especially cricket and soccer, while u sit and dream of ur fav newscasters.. hmmm, it all boils to individual preferences at the end of the day!
@sriram: bingo!
machi u have no idea, i have dreamt about her since her debut in doordarshan, ask vijay about our discussions in room no 81, main building ceg, during our first sem at college ... ;)
hmm about your gathering audience comment... i see them (and similar tactics) as a trigger da... sure i started watching news ONLY because of her... but now i would watch news inspite of the looks of the news reader!... now its become more of a good habit...
@mars : I know how u enthuse on topics u r passionate abt.. so i can understand ur passion in this aspect too ;)
watching news started with sports news in the initial days, to politics and business nowadays.. but i will watch weather news too if the newscaster is one of these melissa theuriau's....
@sriram: i wouldn't call it passion...
ithu vaaliba vayasu ;)
