Discovery Communications Military Channel is about to turn fighters into TV stars, says
USA Today. The first effort is a gentle one. The net has asked soldiers to send in videos to air on the
Web site, cable and satellite TV service. The debut is Feb. 14. Operation V-Day will allow 24 ad-free hours for military personnel to send messages to loved ones. After this, the channel will air
soldier-generated videos at the top of each hour that may be more hard-hitting, showing soldiers on patrol and the daily perils they face.
