Note to TV stations: This page describes how to save your TV news segments for display where no high-speed internet connection is available, or for use after space limitations force you to delete the story from your server. If you make such use more difficult, users might copy a competing channel’s segment covering the same news story.
Which segment would you prefer people watch?

If you run the Windows Media Player playlist at http://udadd.com/media/Playlist_for_high_school_students.wpl you will see TV news segments being put to good use.
