Bye bye Sky News?
 

Once Sky gets is new Freesat package operating, is it likely they will
remove Sky News from Freeview? I would hate that as I use Sky News
regularly, it is much better than stuffy BBC News 24 which I hardly
ever watch.

It's nice to see a Yorkshireman with a sense of humour -- perhaps
because it's so rare.

The constant interruptions for adverts and the 4:3 aspect ratio are *so* much
better than the BBC.

No. The more people watch Sky News, the happier they will be.

It depends if you prefer your news polluted by Murdoch or Bollox
Broadcasting I suppose.

Fortunately I am capable of detecting bias. We all have it.

"Bollox Broadcasting"? Yep, that's bias :-)

I suppose he best solution is to watch lots of different ones with
diferent biases and find the common theme

"Bollox Broadcasting"? Yep, that's bias :-)

You're right but I actually quite often have a lot of respect for the
BBC - Eastenders etc. apart!
