I've been trying to search for a live stream of BBC News 24 and BBC World. Can anyone give me any sites as to where I can find a live stream of them?

There aren't any official 24/7 streams as such, though there's often a stream of News 24 provided on the BBC News website when a major story is being covered non-stop.

There are unofficial streams of BBC World around, and sometimes they get posted on here with varying response from other forum members. I couldn't tell you where they are myself because I don't know and I don't care.

Well, it sure is illegal, but this is an alternative BBC World stream:

Don't tell you mother! By the way: if anyone knows a(n) (illegal) News 24 stream...

Why the hell post it? Why not send it to him in a PM instead of yet another risk of the stream being stopped.

I don't think the term illegal is correct. This is a legitimate Korean webstream for BBC World. They do not deliberately aim it at the UK, it's only by chance it was discovered.

I can access this stream from home, however I'm on 56K and I only get audio. When I access this stream from college, it doesn't seem to connect to the stream. Can anyone help me out?

Probably because you're college's internet is on a LAN or not on broadband.

Most (if not all) colleges in the UK are connected to the internet via JANET and most have at least a 1Mb connection. Some have more; the one that I got to, you can get up to 2Mb download speeds at times when it is not so busy!
