If the Richter scale measures the energy released by an earthquake, Natasha Bedingfield must have a similar sense for pop songs. @yvngflickk @digitalvibezinc @jubi2fye @iconicwill ♬ original sound - Natasha BedingfieldThe legend of "Unwritten" begins in 2003 with a "little poem" tucked away in Bedingfield's trousers. "Natasha and I are literally playing tennis together when we write songs. "I am known for these positive songs," Bedingfield mused.

☆ Don't watch local TV stations? DirecTV will shave $12 off your monthly bill if you drop them
▼ + stars: | 2024-03-18 | by ( Camilo Fonseca | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +4 min

Shifting some primetime entertainment to streaming services has made local stations less attractive, DirecTV said. DirecTV recently resolved a dispute with Cox Media Group, which owns several local stations. The satellite television provider on Sunday announced a package allowing customers to "opt out" of local stations. "That trend continues to diminish the quantity and quality of scripted entertainment on these same local stations." In February, DirecTV resolved its dispute with Cox Media Group, a conglomerate that owns several local television stations in markets across the country.

Welcome back to TV, Jon Stewart. But since Stewart left in 2015, the "Daily Show" audience has gotten very small, and very old. So here, to spell it out, are three charts from Nielsen showing the decline of prime-time TV, the decline of late-night TV, and the fact that the people who still watch conventional TV are … not young. Big picture: Conventional TV used to attract 103 million people a night back in 2015.

The sight of tractor barricades creating long lines of vehicles highlighted the gulfs in economic and social opportunity between town and country in France. At Jossigny near the Disneyland theme park outside Paris, protesters blocked all six lanes of the A4 highway, parking their tractors so they formed what looked like an ear of wheat when seen from the air. Some vehicles carried placards declaring “No food without farmers" and “The end of us would mean famine for you." South of the capital, protesters used forklifts to deposit hay bales to block the A6 highway, broadcaster BFM-TV's images showed. Traffic authorities in the Paris area reported protests causing snarls on multiple major highways heading into the capital.
