The Katie Couric vs Diane Sawyer duel leaves you cold? Skip it, it’s quickly becoming irrelevant anyway. Amanda Congdon, from Rocket Boom is working hard at obsoleting TV as we know it. Best of all: Amanda is free - I mean, free as in “commercials free”.

Yeah, yeah, I know. I just used a technique worth of these TV networks that I loathe so much: bring up a few names that sell well, a hint of politically-correct sex, outrageous headlines remotely connected to your story, build up expectations, and finally deliver superficial and tasteless content in a vast sea of commercials. I have to admit: Amanda hasn’t much in common with Katie or Diane. But I figured that their names would fare better in search engines than any closer comparison (say Jon Stewart). Shameless. I am shameless.

But hold on… Amanda is blonde too. Oh, and she’s also based in New-York. And damn attractive too! Well, sounds like I’ll keep my headlines as is after all!

A few more shows like this one (anything to recommend? something a little more consistent than the other typical vlogs out there? leave a comment!), an easy-to-use media center and my TV might start seeing me staring at her (it’s a she) again.

Keep an eye on Current TV as well.
