Ridout, who befor: Grbe
end was executive producer
of Broadcast One.

Meant to appeal te
“news junkies.” @rhe end is
designed as an alternative to

and approaches them from 2
fresh angle. The one-hour
show combines in-studio
interviews with five on-loca-
tion segments hosted by
another newcomer to TV.
Karen Lam, a lawyer and tax
consultant for the film
industry whom Ridout
describes as “impossibly
accomplished.”

The show also includes

World, pop-up video of
news footage, and TV
Teaser, a video puzzle
which offers clues to the
story of the week.

strong emphasis on on-line
interaction. Viewers can
suggest topics for discussion
ahead of time as well as pre-
vide feedback via the
Internet during the pro-
