SIGNS AND POLLS

JM has a response to Paolo Kernahan's comment on the sign language insert.

"I don't understand Paolo's point about deaf people and education levels. It seems to me that the hearing impaired may well lose another faculty in their sight and they strain their eyes to see the tiny sign-language insert in the news. Perhaps they all have big screen tvs...

"Martine, why don't you introduce a poll sometime for best newscast, best anchor etc? I have not seen a market facts and opinion poll in quite some time, and with the number of stations now and the number of newscasts at 7.00, it may be interesting to get a sample from your readers on their viewing habits.

"I can get the ball rolling:

"FAVOURITE 7.00 NEWSCAST: C NEWS AT 7
FAVOURITE LUNCHTIME NEWSCAST: TV6 NEWS @ NOON
FAVOURITE MORNING SHOW: FIRST UP
FAVOURITE LATE NEWSCAST: GAYELLE NEWS AT 11
FAVOURITE FEMALE ANCHOR: FRANCESCA HAWKINS
FAVOURITE MALE ANCHOR: FABIEN PIERRE"

Well JM, we don't agree with most of your choices, but that's what democracy is all about.
So here's the challenge to the rest of you: who are your favourites/least favourites for those categories?
Let us know and tell us why in a nutshell.
