As well as BBC Two, Four, Parliament, Radio 4 and 5 Live. Freesat, Sky and Virgin all offer the same services above plus Sky News, CNN and many foreign alternatives. I struggle to see why it would be a problem, though perhaps I'm missing something. |

It was all over my Facebook last night, people saying there's been a major death and there's a blackout. I thought there might have been something to it when Adrian Goldberg had quite a lengthy pre-recorded feature last night on Five Live as I remember Breakfast did that back in January before announcing the death of David Bowie, but AG just carried on as normal afterwards. |

What I don't get is the apparent surprise of the OP, news has always been shortened on the main channels during the Christmas holidays. And with 24 hour news channels available to all on Freeview these days, and three hours of news every morning with BBC Breakfast I just don't see the problem.

Suggestion to the OP- Maybe just have the one BBC News thread that you comment on rather than multiple threads.
Other great threads. Where is newsnight. http://forums.digitalspy.co.uk/showt...533&highlight= Bradley is top news story. http://forums.digitalspy.co.uk/showt...826&highlight= BBC News from USA. http://forums.digitalspy.co.uk/showt...705&highlight= BBC News leads with a gun story. http://forums.digitalspy.co.uk/showt...646&highlight= |

News bulletins are easily extendable, I don't see the problem.

But most add a comment to an existing relevant thread, as you do here. A handful start a new thread whenever they think of something trivial (and often seem to never look at the thread again). In most of the forums there are long running threads that run indefinitely.

It was a fake news report that HMTQ had died........
The amount of times I see my friends on Facebook getting upset/angry over 'news' that is clearly fake is quite worrying. So many people seem to take things at face value, commenting and reposting things that never actually happened. |

I get a feeling the whole 'Fake News' issue is going to become quite a thing in 2017.

It's such a mess at the moment. |

Isn't the point of News at Ten, so it does the big political stories.
Mind you Houses of Westminster not sitting. Hollyrood having a break As are Stormont, Brussels, Welsh Assembly. So that saves 10 minutes of news. Often features, like NHS is bad, Motorways useless, another 5 minutes. So that 30 minutes normally leaves 15-20 mins, reduced to 10 minutes. Stops the Worid. Lobby MPs, we are being short changed 5-10 minutes over the Holidays. |
