A gem for insomniacs

If you've ever been awake on weekday mornings flipping through channels from 3am to 5am, you've probably missed ABC's World News Now as you were looking for a new info-mercial somewhere.

This morning as they were talking economics and markets with a BBC journalist in London the guys in the engineering booth ran a ticker on the live shot: "WNN Bus Watch", incrementing a counter any time a bus went by in the real-time background. Four made it by during the shot, and while the interview on China's influence on the market was important... the bus count added an immediacy that you just don't see during the evening news!
