Australian Newsagency Blog

I’m not a big TV watcher and rarely commit to a series as I find the formula approach boring.  That said, I have to confess to recently stumbling across Coronation Street on UK TV and, well, I’m now a regular of six week standing.  Hey, it’s only 30 minutes a night.  What I find interesting is that The Kabin is a focal point on the show.  It’s the local newsagency.  Every couple of episodes there is a reference to newsagency specific issues.  Friday it was scratch tickets and magazine returns.  I’d much rather see stories around goings on in a newsagency than a mass merchant focus in a TV soap.
