I have switched to News 24, much less annoying, though the BBC
emphasis on foreign News is still too much.

At least the BBC don't make up stories like Sky..
They do make you redundant, and employ kids and cheap media students
though

That is irritating. Is it meant to excite people?

Agreed.

On thw whole, News 24 is a worse channel. It's dull, the news is
almost always old, the sets are dark which makes me want to sleep.
Their presenters (with the exception of the breakfast team) are not
allowed (or so it seems) to inject their personality into the
programme - which i do feel is important in these days of 20 channels
offering some form of news at the same time and around 10 of those
being 24/7.
