Not For Broadcast puts you in charge of all of the news. The news about the hole in the ozone layer. A man would drive around our village with the news in the back of his van, and we’d all come out of our houses to watch as he slid open the doors and pointed at it, saying “well, here is the news”. There was just one bit of news that we’d all have to share.

Keep the general public entertained with your editing skills, and keep an eye on those ratings.

We promise it’s so immersive you’ll feel like you’re really being electrocuted by your poorly maintained equipment!Įgotistical celebrities, dishonest politicians, and strange sponsors clash on the airwaves.
