BBC News 24

I have previously been quite positive about BBC News 24; however I'm so annoyed by their coverage over the past week or so that I feel moved to write a review! Having been off work this week I've seen more of their programme than usual and I just can't believe the melodrama over all the snow. I completely appreciate that they need to get out severe weather warnings and that is an important part of their service, however I think they have really gone overboard on the weather story. I was particularly surprised to see that they bumped the story about the possible leadership challenge to Gordon Brown this week in favour of more detail about centimetres of snow! I had ...  Read the complete review

I watch BBC news 24 quite regularly and it does give you the main headlines and a clear idea about events. However the reporting is often quite insulting to inteligence as they explain things to you like you are a five year old child. In my opinion BBC news 24 is more suited to those who are maybe uneducated or find it hard to get to grips with some news stories, as I find it quite irritating at times. Furthermore the reporting tends to be quite leftist and liberal which I fell is not its purpose considering it should just report on facts since it is paid for by license fee payers. Also the news does seem to go round in loops and so the same news or report is on over and ...  Read the complete review

BBC NEWS 24 Description - BBC News 24 is the BBCs 24 hour rolling news television channel in the UK. The channel launched on 9th November 1997 at 17.30pm. I am a huge fan of BBC news and in my opinion, they are the most trusted and credible source of information and current affairs. You can access this channel on terrestrial television, Freeview and Sky so it is accessible to most people (check your TV guide to find the exact channel as this may differ) I use the BBC News website a lot when I am at work, and also on days off, in fact, whenever I am on the internet, I find myself having a quick look to see what is happening at home ...  Read the complete review

I began watching BBC News 24 when I first had a freeview box and I think it's a wonderful service to have on in the background while you're getting through your day. I think it has a number of benefits. Firstly. I generally think they lack bias and generally report on day to day issues as and when they arise. If they do put a slant on their viewpoint then it's not overly noticeable and generally what they say, I believe is brought across with a level of neutrality and it allows me to make my own mind up on issues. Secondly it is easily available. It's on Freeview so you can easily access it on terrestrial television but you can get it in so many ...  Read the complete review

CNN is a great news channel, but it's American. Well now the UK has its own 24 hour a day news channel, and it's called BBC News 24. Yes, this channel has been around for a good ten years now, although only recently has it had a boost in investment and relaunched as a top digital news channel. One of the most interesting elements is the way you can press the red button and get a two minute loop of the latest news at any time. This takes 'news when you want it' to a whole new level, and I love that. I mean, you can come in at any time, and at the press of a button have the headlines: ideal! The presenters are all very 'BBC-like', in their posh ...  Read the complete review
