[ponies arguing]

Me (Jacob D.): KNOCK IT OFF! I'm not going to put together a badly produced telecast, and we are NOT going to go down as the station that failed due to a so-called "experiment" being brought on by these three unmarked ponies, so somepony think of something, and think of it fast!

Rainbow Dash; station manager: Try putting on something with a bit of speed! I've seen you watch Top Gear, maybe we could clear it up with the BBC to have them simulcast it here.

Me: Thanks for the tip, Rainbow, but I don't think that'll work. Your station is more suited for that show.

Twilight Sparkle; bookkeeping and sales: Try simulcasting this: The TSN Reader.

Me: Not good enough. The Twilight Sparkle Network is the only station to carry a video reading service! I want to keep it that way. Remember NHK Equestria? Anyone else wish to share?

Applejack; scheduling coordinator: I got it. There is a gap in the mid-day time slot that is usually used for paid programming. Maybe we should put a news department together, and put my Apple Bloom and her friends up as the desk anchors. That should fill that gap.

Pinkie Pie; catering and control room head: I think I'll agree with Applejack on this one, there's too much 'party' in those infomercials. Those are suited for evening hours, when we need to sign off. Let me put it like this: Put in an hour long news broadcast where the paid slots are, and move the paid slots to the dead of night.

Fluttershy; up-link operator: I think we're onto something here. But, instead of just Ponyville, why don't I set up a up-link feed to Canterlot, as well.

Rarity; camera pony: All that should put our new HD Betacams we've got several weeks ago to good use! But, also, we need a good look for the viewers.

Me: Enough! I heard enough today! A newscast anchored by the Crusaders would prove to be profitable indeed. And, Fluttershy's idea to up-link the broadcast to Canterlot would mean that KCMC would be picked up by an extra 750,000 ponies. That'll boost our viewer quota by 50%! SPIKE!

Spike: [dizzy] You...you rang?

Me: Spike, get your pen and quill ready, and take this down!
