This is channel 3 or 4 on my TV - TV Cronica - el canal de las noticias (TV Cronica, the news channel). It is very funny to watch. The have these news segments which are pretty lengthy compared to most news stations, but it's always some disaster (to borrow a phrase from Hernan) - a fire, a shooting, etc. They have this dramatic music (duh duh DUH duh....) and every now and then they will break into this very dramatic rendition of the Stars and Stripes Forever by John Philip Sousa while they put a headline on the screen in bold red letters such as FIRE KILLS THREE IN VILLA CRESPO.Sometimes they have this channel on in confiterias and cafes with no sound and it is very odd to watch these dramatic scenes with these bold headlines. It's pure entertainment and not news at all.
