C) – Entertainment & Fashion (i.e. movies, music, t.v. show reviews, celebrity, etc.)
D) – Politics and government proceedings (this would include socio-political debates as well).

F) – Finance and Marketing (i.e. stocks)
G) – Electronics & Gadgets (video-game reviews, games, etc.)

I) – Traffic reports
J) – Weather reports

A, D, and J. My local news does not have social debates, but that sounds like it would be very interesting.
