For video, you will need a recent version of Real Player or Windows Media Player. If you find the Video distracting, minimize the Video and just listen. Maximize screen when you want the visuals to a story. Or, you can choose Audio alone. As with CNN, alerts from this site are those originating from BBC broadcasts.
Site is searchable.
However, this is one that does not offer email alerts. 24 Bulletin or BBC One TV News. Ditto CNN for Real Player or Media Player. Audio only is also offered. Choose 1 of 4 regional areas, next a state, then a specific news service of choice.
