== Behind the scenes ==
The channel was known as "BBC News 24" from its launch. During the first two series of Doctor Who, and the first series of Torchwood, the channel's full name was displayed on screen, but from Series 3 onwards the BBC logo was dropped resulting in the channel simply being known as "News 24".
In the real world BBC News 24 was rebranded as BBC News in April 2008. The channel's appearance in The Stolen Earth and subsequent appearances reflect this, with the "24" also being dropped to give the channel the name of "News" on-air.
In Fear Her, it was depicted as having its former name of "BBC News 24" in 2012 for coverage of the Olympics. The story was produced prior to the rebranding.
By September 2009, (TV: Children of Earth) the news channel reintroduced the on-screen BBC logo.
BBC News also plays a major role in the online comic Just Another Thursday, though it's hard to tell when in Earth's timeline this occurred (beyond the present day).
On 19 April 2011, the channel aired a tribute to Elisabeth Sladen after her death. Russell T Davies gave an interview as to her death.
