news something like "whiling" or wialing news? Here�s a link where you can listen to it, the first few seconds are in Finnish, because this is the English news on Finnish tv. It keeps bothering me day by day...

Hello galadrin - I didn't listen to the link you posted, but here in my guess.....

whaling (whale + ing)....you know, like the big fish that swallowed Pinochio.

Does that seem to work? Philo :)

Hi galadrin,

"Good morning, this is YLE news."

It's the acronym or call letters YLE, the name of the news service.
