It’s official, online video’s a big deal

Seems like everyone has a YouTube channel these days. Now Queen Elizabeth II - along with the rest of the British Monarchy - has a channel on the Google-owned online video site.

The channel features about 20 videos right now - with a plethora of archive footage, a day-in-the-life of Prince Charles and more. Front and center is the Queen’s 1957 Christmas message - the first time that message was televised - exactly 50 years ago this week.

Van smashes into studio during 10pm news

Talk about breaking news. A van crashed into the streetside studio of WLS/Chicago during the 10pm news last night. While you couldn’t see the impact on camera - you could certainly hear it.

UPDATE: For reasons I don’t understand, ABC put in a DMCA takedown notice on the video previously embedded here. So I searched for another version… here it is:

Witnesses and WLS’ GM says the “accident” may have been intentional.
