More on BBC News
Description from Wikipedia:
BBC News is the BBC's 24 hour rolling news television channel in the United Kingdom and also available in the Republic of Ireland. The channel launched as BBC News 24 on 9 November 1997 at 17:30 as part of the BBC's foray into digital domestic television channels, becoming the first competitor to Sky News which had been running since 1989. Since then, with several relaunches, an increase in funding and resources from the BBC and improvements in digital television technology, the channel has been able to diversify content, with two minute looped bulletins available to view via BBCi, BBC News Online and the BBC's mobile website, alongside individual weather and sport bulletins. In May 2007 the channel became available for UK viewers to view through the BBC News website through a live stream. In April 2008 the channel was renamed "BBC News" as part of a £550,000 rebranding of the BBC's news output, complete with and new studio and presentation. BBC World was also renamed as "BBC World News".
As a major part of the BBC News department, the channel is based at and broadcast from the News Centre within BBC Television Centre in West London. The channel was named RTS News Channel of the Year in 2006, a first for the channel after five years.
