BBC News 24

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

My dad watches this a lot because he likes to know what's going on in the news and him and my mum gave up buying magazines and newspapers for their new year resolution because they were spending too much money every week on them. I quite like it but prefer it when he puts Sky News on because the news is better and not all about politics like BBC News is. They are fast when it comes to breaking news but don't go into very much depth for stories that aren't about the prime minister which gets a bit boring when you want to see some lighter news. When the expenses row was going on it was constantly 24 hours of repeats about the same with over and over ...  Read the complete review

BBC News 24 is a 24 hour a day news channel available on freeview, cable tv and sky. They cover both UK and World news, however, because it is a country wide servide there is no local news. BBC News 24 also has a website which has all the latest news stories on. It also has a local page where you can look at news from more local regions of the UK. I really like this channel and often have it on before I go to bed to catch up with the days news. As a busy person this is often the only time I have to catch up so having a channel like this is very useful. I think this is now the best news channel as the Sky News channel has lots of adverts ...  Read the complete review

BBC news 24 delivers rolling news 24 hours a day and exudes professionalism, with some excellent presenters, in particular Matthew Amroliwara who, despite looking and acting a little bit like an android, speaks in an extremely intelligent and professional manner and is particularly good at interviewing politicians and the like, as his Paxman-like interviewing technique is both insightful and rigorous, evidencing a refusal to accept indirect or misguiding responses and resulting in interviews that are both informative and often very entertaining to watch. Chief Political Editor Nick Robinson is another excellent journalist who balances his reports with a mix of humour, ...  Read the complete review

I very rarely if ever watch BBC News 24 and the last time I did it was online for a laugh to see if it was any good. Needless to say at this time Russia was invading Georgia and it was all very exciting. I only ever watch BBC News 24 when there is something major going on like the 7/7 attacks on London but it is always nice to be able to flick over on the hour to catch up with the news headlines. I've always watched BBC News in general to get the news because they seem to be the most trustworthy and more serious of the bunch. BBC News 24 must not have many viewers however because when I do watch it the presenters seem to slip up and there are a lot of ...  Read the complete review
