‘Wii News Channel’ to launch this weekend

By Steve Safran 

I love this idea. On Saturday, the “Wii News Channel” is slated to start up. Wii users with an online connection will be able to get AP news and pictures, with the news displayed on an interactive map. You can bet video isn’t far down the line. Talk about an innovative way to distribute information. Imagine offering your local content on that map. You’d have a captive audience and a niche market all at once. People are getting news through their gaming consoles. That’s a breakthrough.
