WSJ : ABC and Unision are talks to start a news channel

Cable NEWS   T V
     The Cable news world  , could be growing .  The Wall Street Journal is reporting that  Walt Disney (ABCNEWS Parent)  and Univision Communuications are in talks to launch an English language news network  and could be launched before the elections.
     from WSJ:

   The new channel would plunge Disney’s ABC News more directly into the fractious cable-news wars, competing alongside Time Warner Inc’s CNN, News Corp.’s Fox News and Comcast Corp.’s MSNBC. And it would mark a big strategic shift for Univision, which since its beginnings five decades ago has been defined by its Spanish broadcasts, but which will now compete for English speakers.

 ABC  and Univision have not  commented on this as of yet. But it does make for  a good idea.  ABC did have plans to launch a news channel in 1996 but changed minds.  ABC currently has a news channel ABC NEWSNOW , it's not very main stream , really only available on Verizon Fios and online from some cable companies and on some mobile phones. It's mostly taped programmed and lifestyle shows.
well update you as we can.

   Another 2 debate for Republicans is this week , one tonight on FOX NEWS Channel (9PMET) and another CNN Debate ,Thursday (8PMET ), haven't we gotten enough debates ? Do we need to me the candidates still , the same questions asked? Though  CNN and FOX debates are better than ABC and NBC's sad excuses of debates.   We have understood where each candidate  stands on each issue, the questions are now getting redundant. The networks should stop now , and candidates should say no that's what ended the debate with Newsmax,last month. 

    The cable networks , maybe want more ratings , but at the cost of just annoying people and making the message seem less useful. I do think the debates and the elections so far have weeded out the candidates out don't cut the voters eye. The debate system is messed-up , they pick people out of polls ,which annoy me , Buddy Romer is running for president but he wasn't in the debates because his poll numbers were low, his poll numbers were low because he wasn't in the debates were people could see him, he  not being in the debates didn't help him because the networks weeded him out for no reason. 

  But please can we stop with the debates until we now have the 2 candidates for the general made?
