Television Set to Hit Talossan Airwaves!

In an exciting development, after much speculation and even discussion amongst prominant Talossan politicians, it can be revealed that a Talossan television network is likely to be established. It is thought to be the first of it's kind in the republic.

'Citaxhien', which owns the digital newspaper you are reading now, has expressed an interest in establishing a television network for the republic, and is researching the feasability of such a scheme. Both the Seneschal and Pruma Citaxhien have given support for such a project.

There has been no opposition to the scheme so far, and there are no Talossan broadcasting regulation laws that such a network would have to follow. The President has made it clear that she doesn't want any regulations set up before the creation of the network, and would rather follow a 'we'll cross that bridge when we get there' idea. Her ideas could be reflecting some wise truth, however, with change for the sake of change becoming messy for the Parliamint.

Opposition could easily come from any source though, and let's not forget that the editor of such a news corporation would be the Distain, which could ruffle a few feathers. Would the Distain resign from his position to persue his interest in Talossan media? J. T. Tric'hardsëfiglheu released this statement: 

'I have no intention to resign in the foreseeable future, I am keen to continue in my job of Distain, however, if this causes upset in the Talossan republic, I may have to reconsider'.


Few details have yet emerged about the proposed network, except that it is likely to be free to use, not supported by government funding and possibly run on a commercial basis. The basis of programming is that most coverage will be pre-recorded with some limited live coverage, possibly during elections (if feasable).


Anybody with any comments or criticism to make about the proposal is invited to comment on this blog post, via PM to the editor or via Facebook/Twitter.

Public support President and Coalition Government

Public opinion polls showed that 80% of the Talossan population is happy with the coalition government between the Defencist and Democratic Socialist parties, while an impressive 100% (5 votes to 0) are backing Miestra as president, after her win back in May.

A slightly belated polling report:
