Very interesting story at WNYMedia (Story) that makes me wish I had thought of it first.
NCB4i, has created the continuous news desk. In their own words: "Instead of sitting behind the anchor desk in the studio, Cabot Rea and Ellie Merritt will deliver the news and interact with viewers from the heart of the NBC 4 newsroom, in front of their computers." Are they really reading the news and typing at the same time? The website layout is a bit disappointing, but they have the right idea making the feed accessible through many different readers and feeders. Best of luck to those who break new ground in old industries. Hey, they even have their own Water Cooler, but that is just the title of their Entertainment section.
