Like every other previous attempt to provide educational TV, how long until CSN turns towards the masses?
To be frank, the frontiers of modern science are so complex and fine-grained it's going to be damn tough to actually present anything that is really 'news'.
And how long before it sacrifices TRUTH for ENTERTAINMENT and rounds off the minutiae to give us an entertaining science-fiction account of 'How Our World Works'?
If the CSN wants to teach the average semi-conscious, insipid TV-viewing mind something, they're going to have to recruit more Film School kids than scientists!

That would be great -- someone suggest that from the CSN website.
What would be even better: Recruiting some of those Televangelists to the show and debunking their operations and exposing their profit motives!
Isn't it the Discovery Channel and the Learning Channel who are constantly broadcasting REAL TV?
RealTV = explosions, injuries, justice in the law, and other wreckless acts of human stupidity.
There is some science to all this though: Appeal to the most base and savage instincts of the audience.
