Here here Ian!   And getting all our news from one source makes for
very generic information getting to the public anyhow.

I get very bored listening to Radio 4 for long, precisely because they
give me the same news over and over again until I know exactly what
the presenter is going to say next, or which clip is coming...

I would suggest someone sets up a news feed company on a smaller
scale, as there is obviously going to be a gap in the market now, and
some stations might spend that money paying the travel for a great
work experience news-reader to come in and make relevant, individual
and original news.

Considering that Sky has taken over IRN's interests, reduced the number
of delivery platforms and reduced the service volume, it's only logical
and reasonable that the service fee to CR operators should remain at the
same level.

Should it increase, the obvious conclusion will be that subscribers will
pull out and Sky's revenue will fall.

It's not the end of the world after all if you don't carry what is
clearly a networked national and international news feed of sometimes
only average quality.
