BBC News was formally known as BBC News 24 (until 2008) and is a news channel broadcasting news from the United Kingdom 24 hours a day. BBC News was the first news channel to compete with the already launched Sky News TV channel.
“Each hour consists of headlines on each quarter-hour, extended at the top of the hour to form the main part of the daily schedule though these are interspaced with other programmes, generally at weekends. This will be often be displaced by rolling news coverage including reports and live interviews. This channel also provides half-hourly weather summaries by forecasters from the BBC Weather centre and the sports news from the BBC Sport centre at MediaCityUK. At 21:25 a global weather forecast is broadcast and 21:55 Weather for the Week Ahead is broadcast.” (WIKIPEDIA)
