Don't forget, this Saturday the Wii News Channel launches, pumping Associated Press stories and photos directly to your television.
Hey, I'm on there sometimes, maybe you'll see my stuff. Sa-weet!
AP reports, go figure, that there are no "immediate plans" to sell advertising space on the New Channel and that news will be displayed through an interactive map.
"The beauty of it is it zooms in and out of areas of the world," said Perrin Kaplan, vice president for marketing at Nintendo's U.S. headquarters in Redmond. "So if you really want to focus on regional news or national news versus international, you just blow up the map of the U.S."
AP has a two-year contract to provide news and photos to Nintendo and might one day also provide multimedia as well. The contract includes the Associated Press providing news for the Wii in English, French, Spanish, Dutch, German and Swiss-German. Japanese news will come from Goo... that's right Goo!
