Australia & NZ. TV Dilemma Sorted All year, Australians have been complaining about the increasing number of TV dilemmas. Monday night presents the problem of home-grown fave "Secret Life of Us" versus U.S. phenomenon "24". And Wednesday makes us toss the coin again to choose between Blue Heelers and The Guardian. "Which one to record and which one to watch?" are the questions on everyone's lips. Now, thanks to Yahoo! Australia & NZ, you can be your own Artistic Director for the night's viewing by ensuring you weigh up all the information to make the most informed decision. Simply click onto Yahoo! Australia & NZ TV (http://tv.yahoo.com.au) for the most up-to-date TV guide, the day's highlights, program briefs and TV news and gossip. You can even get a mobile phone ringtone of your favourite TV theme song. It's so simple to plan your night, and ensure you're not left out of the "Secret Life" gossip circle on Tuesday mornings at work! Music Steps Up a Beat Yahoo! Australia & NZ Music (http://music.yahoo.com.au) has also undergone a March make-over to bring more music and news to the ears and eyes of users.
