NBC News Now to launch in the UK - ALV - 08-03-2022

FYI NBCLX is not operated by the NBCU News Division. Instead, it is operated by the NBCU Owned and Operated Station Group. The O&O group also operates NECN (New England Cable News), Cozi TV, and the 11 NBC O&O stations.
IMO the "news channels" the O&O group operates (NECN and NBCLX) are super under-resourced and neglected, for example, on NECN there is only 1 hour of live news on weekends with the rest are repeats of previous newscasts or filler shows from NBCLX. The newscasts on NBCLX are mostly lifestyle information and "fluff" intended for their "young audience" and does not cover hard news at all.

Have Virgin said anything about carrying it?

Apparently it's launching on Virgin Media sometime later this month.

This article mentions the joint Sky / NBC 'World News' channel, saying the following:
Quote:In early 2020, Comcast had revealed plans to launch a global news platform with Sky News, but those plans have been delayed indefinitely since the beginning of the pandemic, Variety understands.
But I thought those plans were cancelled completely?

As much as I love NBC News Now, there's one thing I've never quite understood... Why does Alison Morris's 3-5pm ET slot have a nighttime background?

Might help fill the gap caused by us losing CNN.

Love the simple graphics style too.Didn't 525 used to be the Sky channel number for the ITN/ITV News Channel? I'm sure that rings a bell for me. I'm going to check out this channel later as I enjoy watching US news and it will be nice to have an alternative to CNN.

Could NBC News Now appear on DTT since RT has been removed? Or do they only want it behind Sky and VM paywalls over here?

Maybe they have to wait for Ofcom's ruling on RT's license.

I very much doubt Comcast are going to stump up the cash for that!! I doubt, outside of hardcore viewers, there is much appetite for rolling US news here!

I’d try the daily YouTube stream on the NBC News YouTube channel. Each day is archived and doesn’t appear to be geoblocked.

Currently watching ‘Early Today’ on NBC News Now. Is there anywhere I can watch the main Today show live? I’m guessing it is not broadcast on News Now?
