The Name

The name “Newsbug” comes out of a research project exploring new applications for interactive TV conducted in 2003 by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation and Murdoch University. An icon – or “bug” in TV parlance – in the corner of the screen would alert interactive TV viewers to the opportunity to click on their remote control to receive ongoing updates of a current news story.
