Is there a (free) news channel, broadcasting news all day?

Al Jahzeera English

Deutsche Welle Television
(mostly news programs, but then CNN is not just rolling news either)
The Pentagon Channel

And then there are all the non-English news stations ...

BBC News
Sky News
CNN

Al Jazera
France today
Russia today
Euronews

Etc.


None of those are listed in the Radio Times, so I'll ask again, are there
any news channels on freeview and what channels are they?

All the stations which are available on "Freeview" are listed at

http://www.freeview.co.UK/freeview/Channels

Under "News", the stations listed are

* BBC News
* BBC Parliament
* Sky News
* Sky Sports News
* S4/C dau

The good news is that CNN Europe is apparently going to be available on
the FreeView EPG sometime in January 2009.

That wasn't the question you asked. BBC News and Sky News are available on
Freeview and CNN soon will be (albeit part-time).
