	Soap opera (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The Soap opera form first developed on American radio in the 1920s, and expanded into television starting in the 1940s, and is normally shown during the daytime, hence the alternative name, daytime serial.
		The term "soap opera" originated from the fact that when these serial dramas were aired on daytime radio, the commercials aired during the shows were largely aimed at housewives.
		Soaps aired during the golden age of radio usually used organs to produce most of their music (because they were cheaper than full-blown orchestras).

	The making of the mobisode
		They were constrained by the extremely short average viewing times of the typical mobile TV watcher; the presuppositions of writers, directors and the comedians themselves, who were hardly accustomed to the impossibly narrow time length of the format; and finally, the budget.
		Perhaps when mobile TV gains wider audiences, the mobile stream will be tweaked with larger fonts and graphics, he said, but those would be minor editing changes.
		Mobile TV had just appeared on the TV industry's radar, but all of the talk was about repurposed content — clips drawn from existing TV shows that would use the phone as a way to promote the Fox network lineup.

		Jackson, who at times was the film's conscience as much as its star, made a point of telling journalists that he was working on Snakes on a Plane and that the title alone was the main reason he'd signed on.
		In April, in the lead-up to the US blockbuster season, there was more awareness among filmgoers about the comparatively cheap SoaP than there was for the likes of ultra-expensive hopefuls such as Poseidon and Miami Vice.
