    I've only watched Sky news on channel 5 and at friends house, but I think it is fair to describe it as:
    1. Simple
    2. Smiley
    3. Stupid

    BBC News 24 seems to be produced for the more intellectually orientated. I actually like RTE news so I look forward to seeing their 24 hour news service whenever it launches.

    Sky News is cheap and tacky. i only use Sky News for Sky News Active and the sport news.

    BBC News 24 is well put together but i only see it overnight on BBC1 and whenever i am in a house with cable. i like it and would love to see it on Sky.

    i too am looking forward to RTÉ's 24 hours news channel seeing as Sky News and BBC News 24 would only appeal to me for world events, ie. no Irish news with the exception of the north

    The BBC service is excellent. Sky news is just for morons that read the sun or other tabloids.

    i'm not voting as i have never seen bbc news 24
    but if its anything like the regular bbc news (which i assume it is) then it would get my vote easily.

    when i flick onto sky news, i only ever watch the sports at 20 past the hour, or go to sky news active. sky news is almost as "tabloidy" as tv3 news.

    Agreed! Tv 3 news makes me shiver!

    When I first watched Sky News, I thought it was a spoof!

    Honestly, I thought I was watching Bremner, Bird and Fortune! Then the horrible truth came that it was actually just really crap news.
