sky news are way too over the top, and so fast to report stuff correct.

we have to have sky news on all day at work, and i remmeber some of the stuff they reported during the london bombings, even reported nail bombs :lolol:

BBC all the way, can't remember the last time that I watched the ITN news though have watched Sky occasionally just for a different perspective. I have heard that Channel 4 news is the best but haven't really watched it that often.

I always relate the news on tv to newspapers

BBC = Broadsheets
Sky = Sun/Mirror
ITV = Daily Star/Daily Sport

BBC for me

BBC World or CNN International. Not a great choice but at least for a few hours each day DWTV (Deutsche Welle TV) broadcasts in English too and their progs are much better.
 


Fox News - it's hilariously biased and makes me feel like an angry young man again :)

BBC (mainly because Sky is only in the living room and I can switch on either of the portables upstairs to get news)

Out here in the desert we can get both BBC World and Sky News. I always choose Sky as it has better (and much faster) sports news (it covers Championship matches, often with action highlights) and a better ticker service. If I'm working in the hotel room I usually have Sky News with the sound off.

Pasty makes a good point in relating the news output to newspapers, I guess that would make Channel 4 news something like the Guardian/Observer/Economist, appealing to the more intellectual viewer. Without trying to sound like a snob, I have always regarded ITV as tabloid TV, full of adverts and little real substance, I guess the news programme is put together in the same way.
