I like to watch international news channels like Al Jazeera or Russia Today, even Press TV (an Iranian channel in English). It gives a different perspective on how news is viewed around the world. I enjoy the Channel4 news at 7pm as the interviewers are quite tough on the people they interview, it makes for interesting viewing.

Watch it through the night if I can't sleep..normally sends me off.

I like to hear t al before. Get up on a morning, then watch it at 2 ...6. And again at 10.

Bit sad as really.

No, it's too depressing, you'll find out major news stories anyhow and there's always Twitter.

I never used to bother but since starting A Level Economics in September we get given a test every Friday about current world events and if we don't pass... let's just say our teacher isn't very happy with us!! So i'm forced to now. I usually watch BBC news at 6 o clock and scan the website every couple of days.
