(10 Days or a week an a half to tastefest)

And yes the stanely cup is home, But it now south of Adams Street

Well last night was the last game of the NHL and the hockey season in genarl after nearly a long off-season (remember the was no season in 2005 because of the lock-out) and with the hoped of the Captin stevie Y ending his carrie with the cup only to see it end with a first round KO by the Edmonton Oliers who went all the ways to the stanely Cup Final and almost coming back 3-1 but only to fall to a thechnally a detroit team, the Carliona Hurricanes who is own by Detroiter Peter Karmanos who also own Compurware who HQ is at Downtown Detroit in fornt of Campus Martius Park who game seven last night 3-1 Goals by Aaron Ward and Frantisek Kaberle put the canes up by two but it came close when oliers Fernando Pisani cut it by one and they could not get the tieing goal as Justin Williams put the empty net to end the hocey season and the cup is now at tobacco road for the 1st time for this franchise who began life as the Hartford Whailers.

So this mean the stanley cup is back in detroit but it head quarters is on woodward but it south of Adams Street.

The Big News story in Culture City that broke shortly before 12:30 PM in a breaking News post and been slowly update though out the Day the BBC TV Music Show "Top of the Pops will be no more as of July 30th the pull was pull on the one time popuarl show which been on the air in one from or anonher for 42 years, the show have nearly 19 millions viewers in the 70's but the show have been on a slow and stedy declenc they tried to revamp the show many times change the openen was switch days (From Thursday to Friday to Sunday) it was going low as three Millions viewers when it was downgrade from BBC 1 to BBC 2 and it lost
almost half of it viewer and was a one milions viewers when the end annoucement was made today.

And anyone who know TV know if a long time show is hovering a millions and begin changll by almost 20 24/7 music channels in the UK you know it must be time to let it go.

and a little note: a few years ago the BBC America air 6 months of the show untill that same week show was pulled from the channel line-up.

At one Point the BBC was thinking of doing a US version of TOTP for the WB Network but things fell thur, so the WB (which will fold in Sept.)was stuck doing Pepsi Smash for two years and it was the lowest ever show in WB Histroy.

Also part of the decline that nobody care for the single Chart any more as it begin taking over by really bad music, Just like the US Alblum Chart which i call it the Brought and paid for 200.

Reaction is coming thoghut out the day if you want more just go on line at more on this on the BBC Web sight at http://www.bbc.co.uk/ or the TOTP web sight at www.bbc.co.uk/totp or more reaction at google, put "Top of the pops" BBC in the search engine and clikc on News and sort by date for the latet updates, as the new story goes first.
