Vice has its virtues and Sky its limits: where does BBC News Channel fit?

Sophie Raworth in the BBC News Channel studio.

"Vice (with increasing TV ambitions) thinks of itself as a news channel, producing distinctive feature coverage of stories young people devour. Sky is a news channel, replaying an assemblage of news and weather around the clock, refreshing at regular intervals and breaking apart at the double if anything actually happens. And the BBC, with more programme formats and transfers from other schedules, is something different again."

"Vice you turn on to watch interesting features you won’t see elsewhere: dip in and out. Sky tells you, in short order, what you’ve missed while you were dozing or jogging: no extended viewing necessary. "
