The Importance of Being Ernie

For dozens (if not hundreds) of reasons, the State of Nebraska will be infinitely worse off when Ernie Chambers is forced from office by term limits. Need evidence?

Google TV On campus

(Cross-posted on the Google Student Blog)

Google TV has been popping up on college campuses across the country. We’re coordinating with the Google Student Ambassador Program and University Programs to share Google TV with students and faculty.

This initiative began last semester when Google Student Ambassadors hosted Google TV study breaks on over thirty campuses. The ambassadors had students compete to win Sony Internet TVs for their friends and school. They hosted pizza breaks, tech challenges, YouTube marathons and of course, college football viewing parties. The top seven most creative study breaks won two Sony Internet TVs to give back to their college as a reward for their school spirit and enthusiasm for Google TV.

The momentum from the Google TV study breaks has carried over into the classroom. Already, the web on TV has proven itself as a great platform for for early education and reading skills with web apps like PBS Kids and Meegenius. However, professors have expressed interest in expanding these opportunities to all levels of learning.

That is why we are announcing Google TV for EDU, a seeding program to support university research. Google TV for EDU asks campuses around the country: how can educators enhance the Web on TV for the classroom. Specifically, we’re asking faculty how their research could:

• Generate new interest in television engineering
• Make computer science tangible for students
• Help in the development of smart TV curricula and new educational tools
• Contribute to in-classroom and distance learning over television
• Reach a wide audience

We officially launched the program yesterday to select university faculty with experience and leadership in television. These select faculty will receive a Logitech Revue to carry out their research in the classroom. Over the next few months we’ll be posting outcomes of their research as well as information on new educational web-apps.

Channel 3 Gets Some Action

Memo to KXVO anchor Calvert Collins: If you want to see how to attract younger viewers, drop the big wig and have someone bring you a tape of what they're doing at KMTV. Moving at a break-neck pace, "Action 3 News" debuted Wednesday night, running viewers through its 35-minute newscast at what seemed to be at least twice the speed of WOWT's "Ten at 10." In terms of sheer quantity of stories,

LOL

Kudos to the Channel Sux producer who gave Jimmy Thiedlecki copy that required him to say "slick streets." What a hoot! It's like that scene in Monty Python's Life of Brian when they hand Pontius Pilate a list of names starting with R."Bwing me Wodewick!"

WOWT Ad Raises Questions

WOWT is advertising for a "sports reporter/photo/producer," leading us to wonder if the station is adding staff or if someone at the Big Six's "Sports Machine" (whatever the hell that means) is leaving.Longtime sports anchor Dave Webber would seem the most likely candidate for an exit, given his age (isn't he about Bob Barker's age?) and his seemingly drunken live report from Kansas City on the

Ten Minutes of Non-Stop Pat, No-Wait Delusions, and Leadoff Schmaltz: Pat Celebrating Pat Starts Tonight at 10

Questions we can't help but ask...• Could Channel 6 promo Monday night's "look back" at "retiring" anchor Pat Persaud''s "career" any harder? We swear they were running that thing every six minutes all weekend. Every time we turned to 6, there she was.• Are we the only ones who think it's kind of odd that she's narrating most of the promos about this alleged retirement? Why not just have her call

How Low Can He Go?

It's gotta suck to be Brian McFayden. It was bad enough that his career had withered to the point that he had to take a job at an Omaha TV station. But, to make matters worse, that station was cellar-dweller KXVO, whose Calvert Collins-anchored "news"cast was watched so little that it didn't even register in parts of the February sweeps. Now comes word that the aforementioned Mr. McFayden was

Another Wasted Opportunity

On Sunday night's post-Olympics newscast, WOWT anchor John Knicely proved, yet again, that he may be the least curious Omaha television anchor ever. When a local affiliate gets the opportunity to interview Nebraska's claim to Winter Olympics fame, bobsledder Curt Tomasevicz, viewers might expect to find out how Tomasevicz ended up on the team, what it's like to be in Torino, etc. Not with Knicely
