According to the Associated Press, the Wii news channel is finally coming on Saturday!
“The Wii News Channel, scheduled to debut Saturday, will primarily feature top news stories and photographs from The Associated Press.
Consoles with a broadband Internet connection and the Opera Web browser will be able to access the free news channel, which will offer AP news in multiple languages. Japanese-language news will come from a separate agency. There were no immediate plans to sell advertising space, said Perrin Kaplan, vice president for marketing at Nintendo’s U.S. headquarters in Redmond. News will be displayed through an interactive map, which users can navigate with the Wii’s wireless controller, Kaplan said. ‘The beauty of it is it zooms in and out of areas of the world,’ she said. ‘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.’”
