Just over an hour later than Sky. 

It really can't do what it says on the tin as advertised by the BBC big wigs.

But but but...! There is a website, which completely eliminates the need for a news channel(!) If you don't support these changes you are a Luddite! Nicky Campbell's programme is very compelling! Two plus two equals five! Double plus ungood!

Still yet to hear an argument against Nicky Campbell's show existing other than 'it's not the NC!'...

I don't think anyone has said there is no place for a news channel, but rather the news channel needs to add more than just reading the website.

With regards to this morning, I'm surprised that News (and 5 Live) both failed to pick up on this sooner. In case anyone forgot (and just assumed it's some thing being forced onto your telly), 5 Live is meant to be the first radio station to break breaking news. It's disappointing that this didn't break on either before the push notification was sent.

If the BBC want public opinion to shift on the channel then they do need to make sure they're doing it right when it matters.
