BBC News (also referred to as the BBC News Channel) is the BBC’s 24 hour rolling news television channel in the United Kingdom. The channel launched as BBC News 24 on 9 November 1997 at 17:30 as part of the BBC’s foray into digital domestic television channels, becoming the first competitor to Sky News, which had been running since 1989.[1] Since then, with several relaunches, an increase in funding and resources from the BBC and improvements in digital television technology, the channel has been able to diversify content, with two minute looped bulletins available to view via BBC Red Button, BBC News Online and the BBC’s mobile website, alongside individual weather and sport bulletins. In May 2007 the channel became available for UK viewers to view through the BBC News website through a live stream. In April 2008 the channel was renamed “BBC News” as part of a £550,000 rebranding of the BBC’s news output, complete with a new studio and presentation. Its sister services, BBC World was also renamed as “BBC World News” while the national news bulletins as BBC News at One, BBC News at Six and BBC News at Ten.
