The Media Edition

Tuesday This Or That

1. TV or radio?

Radio

2. On the radio: talk or music station?

Music Station. My life is driven by music.

3. Actual books or books-on-tape (or e-books)?

Actual Books. [When I actually read them, still haven't finished Jack L. Chalker's "Priam's Lens"

4. Actual newspaper, or web version?

Web Version. Just easier. [Although I used to make a habit of sitting in McDonald's on a Sunday afternoon and reading the paper. It was a nice habit. Why did I stop?!]

5. Wall Street Journal or National Enquirer?

National Enquirer. I guess the trash is more exciting than money to me.

6. TV news...news channel such as CNN, or your local broadcast news?

Local News

7. A movie you've been looking forward to seeing gets bad reviews all around. See it anyway, or pass?

See it anyway, Cause I don't always agree with the reviews of others.

8. See movies when they first come out, or wait a few weeks for the lines at the theater to get shorter?

This really depends. If it's a MUST SEE for me. I might see it on opening night. Non-Must See's are when I have the chance in accordance to my rotating schedule.

9. TV: cable, satellite dish, or just plain old antenna?

Plain Old Antenna. This is one less expense in my household for something I rarely use. I get a number of local stations on UHF. As Well as the Old Staple CBC [Can you say HOCKEY?] on VHF.

This is probably not a shock to Americans where Cable is a "Luxury" but here Canada Cable is the norm almost everyone has it and had it a long time.

10. Thought-provoking question of the week: If you had to choose only one form of media to come into your home, which would you choose...print (newspapers, magazines) or electronic (TV, internet)? Why?

Electronic. I spend upwards of at least 2-3 hours a day on the internet. Going back a question. I have Cable Internet but not Cable TV. I read all my sports online. I communicate online and hate the telephone. It's just simple.
