The Channel 4 news main bulletin goes out every weeknight at 7pm (for about an hour), Saturday at 7pm and Sunday at 7.30 (30 mins). I'd recommend this news if you want in depth coverage. It's not going to deliver news stories as fast and furiously as Sky, but deals with each story fully. For the main headlining items there is often over 10 minutes of coverage.
