With 47 states now allowing cameras in the courtroom, the channel has broadcast such high-profile proceedings as the William Kennedy Smith rape trial, the insanity defense of serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer and the parole hearings of Charles Manson and his followers.

And last spring, writer Carl Malamud began using the Internet to distribute a weekly "radio" interview show called Geek of the Week. Malamud is undeterred by the fact that it takes a computer about an hour over...
...Dade County -- a million people -- were born in a foreign country. Dade is the largest metropolitan area in the U.S. with a Hispanic majority. Nearly 60% of its residents speak a language other than English at home, mostly Spanish. In Miami even a deejay for the new Latin MTV channel must be fluent in two languages...
