    Save the TV! Aussie floats his big screen to safety from floodwaters

    A man uses the cover of a hot tub to move a TV set through floodwaters at Cornubia, Queensland. Massive summer floods have killed four people and forced thousands to evacuate their homes across the Australian states of Queensland and New South Wales, according to local authorities. -- Reuters

    Watching Euro 2012 in a shack on a Colombian hillside

    Farmers watch telvised coverage of the Euro 2012 semi-final in a shack on a hill in Calandaima, a rural area of Miranda, Colombia, on June 28, 2012.

    Local farmers are in dispute over lands occupied by the army to give them a tactical advantage in the war against FARC guerrillas, Agence France Presse reports. The farmers, afraid of being caught in the crossfire, want the troops to leave the area. A caravan of Colombian social activists on Thursday moved to the top of the Calandaima hill to deliver food to the peasants.

    Customer Steven Price sits at a table near a HDTV screen showing the new McDonald's Channel featuring a commercial about McCafe drinks at a McDonald's restaurant, part of the test market for the channel in Norwalk, California October 17. McDonald's Corp will roll out its own family-friendly, all high-definition television channel to nearly 800 restaurants in Southern and Central California by March. The move is part of an expanded test of the service, which the world's biggest hamburger chain one day hopes to take across the United States.

    McDonald's Channel comes to California restaurants

    Maybe I'm overreacting to the symbolism of this. Is adding television to fast food restaurants a good idea for a company that is trying to sell healthier food? Full story.

    The beginning of the World Record TV watching contest.

    By David R Arnott, NBC News

    A Dutch television station has launched a bid to set a new world record for the length of time a single person can watch TV without a break. The Last Man Watching contest will itself be televised live, though why anybody would want to watch other people watching television for hour after hour remains unclear. According to the organizers, the current record stands at 86 hours, 6 minutes and 41 seconds.

    The video at right is pretty funny, even if you don't speak Dutch.

    Today.com’s Randee Dawn reports:

    Unlike most soap operas, "AMC" is planning for the afterlife, when it may be resurrected for the Internet. That means almost nothing got solved, and in fact, the end of the show managed to leave audiences hanging on at least three major plot points. Will Jackson and Erica marry again? Who was the shocking "other woman" David referred to? And finally, who got shot at the party? Read more…

    The Libyan state television set is seen abandoned at the Rixos hotel in Tripoli on August 22. Heavy gunfire rang out near the Tripoli hotel, where members of the foreign media are staying, a Reuters correspondent at the hotel said on Sunday.

    Transmission interrupted: abandoned set of Libyan state television in Rixos hotel, Tripoli

    By David R Arnott, NBC News

    The BBC's Matthew Price reports that staff from Libyan state television, who have worked out of the Rixos hotel in Tripoli since their headquarters were bombed by Nato, left the hotel over the weekend, as did translators working with the foreign media and the relatives of senior officials. "We dined in flak jackets," Price writes, as the fighting outside got closer to the hotel. Read his blog.
