Re: [sharechat] Maria, Business Channels, Sky Digital

Phil - I don't have Saturn but do have SKY digital
 
The CNBC Australia is on all day with the American coverage in the morning - a lot of Asia and Oz stuff during the day and then pretty broad coverage of the European markets in the evening. The dudes on 'Squawkbox' who come on before the UK market opens are pretty entertaining.
 
The CNBC Australia round up on the Australia market is pretty comprehensive.
 
In addition SKY news has now gone Australian (not just beamed out of UK anymore) and they have good business coverage in the weekends. The best part is the half hour interviews they have with business leaders - very good.
 
I tuned in to see how Silver Archer was going to go in the Waikato Steeples. Surfing through the channels and there was Maria interviewing somebody from Home Depot. The Home Depot man was resplendent in his orange apron (with a tie on) and that did not even put Maria off.
 
Life will never be the same again.......and I missed the race.
 
For a more serious discourse of how the press/publicity influences the market 'The Fortune Tellers' by Howard Kurtz is a good and entertsining read.
 
Can read a chapter for free on B&N
 
I see that Maria has a book coming soon - Xmas present hopefully
 
Cheers
 
Peter
