 * GBC News is given permission to rez a single object in the region telehub (or each telehub, if multiple regions are owned) that monitors lag data for the weather report and advertises the network to visitors. GBC is also given permission to use the region's name in the weather reports.
 * Region owners are given a professionally-run TV news program for their residents.
 * Region owners enjoy free advertising for their roleplay environment through a widely-watched news program.
