I sometimes watch Euronews -- when BBC News 24 and Sky News are reporting loads of sports junk. Sports 'news' is not proper news.

CNN is OK when some major world catastrophe happens. but the yankee accent soon begins to grate on me. Most of their women reporters screech, not speak. The only yank woman tv journalist who is nice to hear is that News 24 woman correspondent in Pakistan

Radio 4 is nice for when there is tripe on TV - if only to have the lovely sound of their softly spoken estuary accents - even the shipping forecast is music to the ears.
