Nielsen and Me: Day 2 .....

We had our second day as a Nielsen Media Research (television ratings) family on Friday ..... some of it was different, some of it was the same-old-same-old.

Mornings usually start with "Sunrise Earth" on Discovery HD Theater, one of the free hi-def channels (HDTHTR - 710) that Suddenlink offers, and one of the really good expressions of high-def television ..... nothing but video and nat-sound of the sun rising over some beautiful location - a dairy farm in Vermont, for example, or the Yosemite Valley in California, or Macchu Pichu in Peru. Another regular stop on weekday mornings is NewsWest 9 Sunrise for news headlines and weather updates by two good friends - and two very good news professionals - Hema Mullur and Darrell Ward.

Things were a little different during the day ..... and I am SOOOO glad I had a couple of work assignments done by then, because it freed me up to watch Doctor Who on SciFi Channel (SCIFI - 64) most of the day. It was selected episodes from the Tenth Doctor series (with David Tenant as The Doctor), and it had some great moments, like the return of Sarah Jane Smith and K-9, and the creation of Torchwood.


Some more fantasy fun, that evening, watching the classic Wizard of Oz on TNT's HD channel (TNTHD - 733) ..... if only they could show it without commercial interruptions ..... oh, well, there's always the DVD.
