What news channel do you like.

It depends on my mood.

News 24 tends to linger a little too much on each story, and it slows down the pace of the channel immensely. Especially in the daytime, because such as right now I have N24 on next to me, and it does seem slow.

Sky News is usually faster-paced with more stories, so you're interest in watching isn't dilluted to the extent of N24.

I think N24 should be faster-paced and more lively during the day, and then slow down a little in the evening. That said, the constrictions of having such a small studio limits the newsreaders ability to interact with the viewers, as the presenters on Sky do very well.

I would say it's a draw between N24 and Sky, but I think when SN relaunches 2 weeks today, we'll see a marked difference in the style and content of the two channels.

ITV News, as ever, isn't worthy of note because it is so poor.

Although really (at the moment) News 24 have much more space they COULD play with. They just don't bother using it.

BBC for indepth coverage, Sky for headlines, ITV for a laugh at how bad it is.
