Rebar Telecommunications president Lu Chih-chu explains that there is a definite connection between the enthusiasm for producing news programs and the viewing tendencies of the Taiwan audience. Taiwan is small and densely populated; the slightest political vibrations reverberate through everyone's lives, and news broadcasts are the main source of information about changes in people's environment.
力霸友聯傳播公司總經理盧治楚解釋，頻道經營者熱中自製新聞，和台灣觀眾的收視取向有絕大關係；台灣地理環境小、人口密度高，政治上稍有風吹草動，人民生活就受到影響，新聞報導正是民眾得知周遭環境變化的主要來源。
