Advantages: Round the clock news

Disadvantages: repetitive nature, sometimes biased opinion

Sky News - king of the Live News channels in the UK. So, how does it fare? For one thing, the news coverage is round the clock. This is handy if you want to know the weather etc because outside of special events coverage they usually have a round up of the headlines, weather etc every 15 minutes or so. I do not understand some other peoples complaints as who would be dull enough to sit and watch the same news over and over - I get what I want and then switch over.

The news coverage by and large is excellent. They have reporters and journalists dotted around all over the globe which means that in a moments notice they can be there right where the latest news event is happening. There coverag of live events is excellent. Something I do not like is there linking with American broadcasters as sometimes the contents of the report are obviously aimed at the American people and whilst this at times can be interesting, I would much rather have reports - even if on American issues - from a British source.
