Today's Headlines:
BBC Launches News Channel, Takes On Sky and CNN
The British Broadcasting Corporation launched a 24-hour news channel
on Sunday for viewers in Britain, competing with CNN and Sky News
from News Corp. and British Sky Broadcasting.
However, BBC News 24's reach is limited. Only about three million
cable-subscribing homes were able to see the launch, half of the six
million households reached by Sky News and CNN and about
one-seventh of Britain's 22 million TV-viewing homes.
The majority of Britons will only be able to see the channel for about
four hours early morning when the new service fills the gap after the
sign-off of BBC1, the flagship channel.
It provides full news and sports bulletins every hour and updates every
15 minutes, with special news programs in between. The channel is
based at the BBC's Television Center in west London.
