Los Angeles (AP) — Some people have had it with TV. They've had enough of the 100-plus channel universe. They don't like timing their lives around network show schedules. They're tired of $100-plus monthly bills.
A growing number of them have stopped paying for cable and satellite TV service, and don't even use an antenna to get free signals over the air. These people are watching shows and movies on the Internet, sometimes via cellphone connections. Last month, the Nielsen Co. started labeling people in this group "Zero TV" households, because they fall outside the traditional definition of a TV home. There are 5 million of these residences in the U.S., up from 2 million in 2007.
Winning back the Zero TV crowd will be one of the many issues broadcasters discuss at their national meeting, called the Nab Show, taking place this week in Las Vegas.

Washington, Nov 16: Shania Twain's stalker has been placed on three years probation after being released from jail following completion of his time served.
Dr. Giovanni Palumbo was also ordered by to stay half a kilometre away from the singer and her family by Judge Richard Schneider, who sentenced him to time served, which in effect meant that he can be released after over seven months in jail.
Palumbo - who interrupted Shania's testimony at his trial in September to declare he would plead guilty to criminal harassment - is forbidden from having any contact, direct or indirect, from the singer under the terms of his probation.

We're pretty sure Shania Twain doesn't mind this arrangement. A former Ottawa physician who last month admitted to stalking the country pop songbird will remain in lockup until his next hearing after a Toronto judge denied his bail petition Wednesday. A good doctor he isn't. Per the Winnipeg Free Press, Justice Richard Schneider "reluctantly" rejected Giovanni Palumbo's request to grant him his freedom until a Nov. 15 proceeding, a decision that outraged the defendant and prompted yet another outburst in court. "You know you're all very sick, you really are—it's so sad," yelled Palumbo. "Have fun, because I'm going to keep having fun, wherever I...
