Australia's three major television networks are now showing satellite feeds directly from NBC, CBS, and CNN; Dan Rather looks a lot older than he did when I saw him last. The Australian networks will occasionally break in with reports from their own correspondents, and they've put their own "crawling text" at the bottom of the screen (below the American ones), but otherwise we're getting American news. A fourth channel, the one that usually shows foreign-language movies all day, is running the BBC satellite feed.
