Welcome to the all new TV & Media Avatar Contest! This weeks theme is: The News All the latest facts and opinions you need to know! Avatars can be from fictional depictions of news reports in TV & Media or actual news broadcasts or newspaper headlines. They needn't be current either; if you want to depict headlines or reporters from 2001 or 1921 I'll allow it. Well what are you waiting for? Enter now!

OK, a couple more. (Obscure ones, because why not?) This Hour has 22 Minutes A Canadian comedy show with the premise that it is a weekly news program. It has been on the air forever... the image above shows the original cast (Mary Walsh, Greg Thomey, Cathy Jones and Rick Mercer). Without Warning An interesting little made-for-TV science fiction movie that I discovered on DVD, it plays as a news program covering the events as they occur.
