Talk:Radio 4 News FM

message: This article has been reviewed against the good article criteria and has been placed on a seven day hold.  This means that some minor niggles exist which prevent elevation to GA status, but which you have between two and seven days to iron out before I re-evaluate the article.  The review is below.
Well Written: FAIL 
*The lead section needs a re-write.  It should be made clear that Radio 4 gave over its entire network to rolling news, that this had no precedent, and that it was broadcast in the UK only - this removes the ambiguity about whether this station was an in-theatre station or a home broadcast channel.
::Radio 4 did not give over it's entire network, only the FM frequency, as describe. ••Briantist•• talk 11:59, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Additionally, there are two massive quotations. Perhaps parts could be paraphrased (retaining the references, obviously). Is it possible that the 'further reading' could be integrated into the main article and be cited as references for consistency? I've reworked the lead. The JPStalk to me 01:57, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Have these concerns been addressed? If so note it here. The on hold has expired but if they have been addressed it can be passed. I'll wait one day for a response otherwise I have to fail it.A mcmurray (talk • contribs) 13:16, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

message: And yet it proved such a disappointment, often elbowing-out rolling news with dire phoneins and dreary, old-style sports-commentary. There's still a niche for rolling news radio.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.189.103.145 (talk) 17:37, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

message: This is a non-sequitur! Radio 5 isn't a rolling news service but another talk-station like Radio 4, but with less art to it. So very frequently, it strays from news (reality) into sport (fantasy/entertainment) which it reports as though it were news. The closest you might get to rolling news radio would be the BBC News TV channel without pictures. World Service is little better. It would be great if the BBC actually did 24-hour rolling news radio; it could conquer the world, especially in the age of internet-distribution through in-car web-connection and domestic smart speakers. There may be an interest at the BBC which fears such a service would scoop its other channels, audio and video.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pfedanon (talk • contribs) 17:18, 14 May 2021 (UTC)
thread_title: the popularity of the station was taken as evidence that a rolling news service was required. In response, BBC Radio 5 Live was launched on 28 March 1994
