Layout
The layout of this website is a little poor. There are a large number of images all over the website and navigation is hard to locate. All the other text is in very large fonts, it’s very hard to read as it gets lost among all the images. Each image represents its own story on the website. It may take a minute to understand this. There is a caption under every image that is hyperlinked to start it corresponds to. Each hyperlink will let you know if the story is news or video. Although there is a fair amount of video down on his websites, we are not very fond of the design as it is a little confusing and definitely hard to read. The advertising located on the front page of this site is blended in with all the other images. Therefore, it’s very easy to accidentally click on an advertisement rather than a news story. Watch what you click on as you may find yourself redirected to a sponsor related website.

The video provided is high quality. They consistently provide video clips throughout the day. However, it may be fun to spend time with on this website as they do provide a nice selection of photo galleries that offer many celebrity images.

Verdict
We were not as thrilled with this television websites as we are with some of the others we have encountered. All will there are many streaming video clips available, they are very hard to find because the front page of the website is very confusing. However, the video is of high quality and they do above and beyond to update this website consistently. There will be no shortage of information for all viewers following this website. They do offer free downloads in the Apple iTunes store, but there are no apps that support will devices. But it is possible to receive updates from their RSS Feeds that are available. Usage of this website is completely free and does not require an off-line cable subscription.
