From the Aug. 24 AP story on ABCNews.com:

Here's news that Fox's series "Anchorwoman" wouldn't want to deliver: It's been canceled after one low-rated airing.

The debut of the reality show about Lauren Jones' attempt to turn herself into a news anchor for a Texas TV station drew an estimated 2.7 million viewers Wednesday, according to preliminary figures from Nielsen Media Research.

That number is about a third of the viewership Fox attracted a week earlier with the finale of its popular "So You Think You Can Dance."

Jones was a Barker Beauty on "The Price Is Right," Miss New York and featured WWE Diva before the series put her into the newsroom of KYTX Channel 19 in Tyler, Texas.

Unaired episodes of "Anchorwoman" will be available on Fox's website through Fox on Demand, the network said Thursday.

On her MySpace page, Lauren Jones pleaded with her fans to lobby Fox to resurrect the show. Good luck to her.

I'll have to check out the broadband version. I'm dying to know if she signed off with, "Go ##$$!! yourself, Tyler (Texas)!" :)

Here's an earlier posting.

From the BBC:

Ten people have been arrested in Russia over the murder of investigative journalist Anna Politkovskaya.

Russian TV showed prosecutor general Yuri Chaika telling President Putin of the arrests, informing him that those held would soon be charged.

Mr Chaika said "serious progress" had been made in the investigation into the killing, which was widely condemned.

The journalist, a harsh critic of President Vladimir Putin, was shot dead at her Moscow apartment block in 2006.

At the moment there is no information about the identity of the suspects.

Here's an earlier post that provides some background on Politkovskaya. I have lots of other stuff on Politkovskaya.

The Colbert Report's Stephen Colbert has created a mock campaign to end wrist violence after he broke his left one during a June taping. One U.S. anchor won't join in.
