SNN could pehaps be done in 30 min segments by discipline with cut ins for breaking news. A ticker at the bottom gives updates on the day's scientific news. (Perfect for [Sunstone]'s Science Bar)-- Zimmy, Dec 16 2006 Science Bar Science_20barCool! [Zimmy, Dec 16 2006] Furry Lobsters http://news.bbc.co....ci/tech/4785482.stmThis just in! [Cuit_au_Four, Dec 18 2006] The Science Channel http://science.discovery.com/Not far off the mark. All science, all the time. [jurist, Dec 18 2006] I like it!-- Chefboyrbored, Dec 16 2006 I get three music video channels, two with nothing but reality TV, and the women's network, and I would gladly exchange all of them along with a dozen others for SNN.-- Cuit_au_Four, Dec 17 2006 [+] Definite bun, especially if you can promise it won't succumb to the temptation to run hyped-up, bad-science 'science' stories.-- imaginality, Dec 17 2006 No, that's why the science channel has so many really old re-runs...-- BJS, Dec 17 2006 There always seems to be something in the science section of yahoo news. Much cool stuff, too. Furry lobsters and whatnot.-- bungston, Dec 17 2006 +very cool+-- xandram, Dec 18 2006 (+) I am really surprised; I always thought it was existing at least in the US.-- vedarshi, Dec 18 2006 [+] Actually SNN might be the only network where having a reality show would'nt suck as bad.-- nomadic_wonderer, Dec 18 2006 A great series for this channel would be "Mad Scientists". I envision a team of 4 or 5 nerds who tackle some wild scheme each week - build a railgun, make liquid sodium depth charges, homemade thermite, etc. Sort of Mythbusters meets Jackass: science slaved to the service of spectacular mayhem.
For once I would like the camera person to be a part of the team, too. Offering witty off camera comments, poking a face around into the lens from time to time, etc.-- bungston, Dec 18 2006 I'd imagine there would always be a phD student somewhere willing to get his work on the air.-- Cuit_au_Four, Dec 19 2006 We get Brainiac here (AU) too. It's lame. Rough Science was better - drop a group of working scientists on a deserted island and let them use their skills in survival related tasks.-- BunsenHoneydew, Dec 19 2006 //No, that's why the science channel has so many really old re-runs...//
Cool, they're reshowing the one where Neil Armstrong landed on the moon.-- phundug, Dec 19 2006 How did this get so many buns, and my Nerd Radio idea got boned? :*(-- Voice, Jun 29 2007 random, halfbakery
