Good day, everyone! So, an idea popped in my head as I was talking to several of you in the cbox, about how to create more depth in the universe. The idea is a great way to keep track of things happening around, so that your characters get a bigger 3d illumination: Z TV. In the series, Z TV kept track of the events that was happening on the Television, from the Red Ribbon Army's events, all the way to the Majin Saga and even beyond that!
So, given that our forum is slowly, but surely, opening up to a Universal scale, I'm thinking we expand on the idea of ZTV to being something of a much greater magnitude. In the age of 2800, there's no doubt that there is inter-galactic communication happening between the Earth and many other advanced worlds. Like it was attempted in Resurrection, we keep a Planetary-Intergalactic News Reel. Events happening on certain planets, or even galaxies, is bounced between an advanced network, protected by the Galactic Police (yes, they're a thing. Trunks was actually part of it, believe it or not), that transmits the events of what happens on one planet to all other planets.
This network would be an IN CHARACTER sort of deal that gets updated every 1 to 2 weeks, so that the events can transpire. Keep in mind, this wouldn't give staff any power over anyone. They'd be reporting the week's events on the network, applying different opinions on the npcs existing there. Now, this would also mean that Player characters can actually visit these network stations, when the other planets open up. Either to interview, be interviewed, or just to visit the station for their own (possibly nefarious) purposes... Here's an example that Team Four Star applied in their most recent episode (go watch it! It's fantastic!):

Villains... My dear villains. ENJOY THE IDEA!
