• A World Wide Web site named TVShowsOnDVD had an article dated for the Wednesday on the twentieth day of this September about a company named Allied Vaughn having begun selling sets of digital versatile discs (DVDs) of a dramatic TV program made in southwest Alabama and other parts of the United States during its time of production (the name of the program was "Movin' On").

• The local news program that appeared on the main broadcast channel for WKRG-TV during the first half of the hour of 10:00 p.m. this past Wednesday ("WKRG News 5 at 10") had a video in which some of its superimposed graphics (some of which were animated) appeared blurry for a report described as a "Scam Busters" report (the only superimposed graphic that did not appear blurry in the video was a logo for their main provider of network programming (the Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS)).
