BBC News (TV channel)
BBC News (also referred to as the BBC News Channel) is the BBC's 24-hour rolling news television network in the United Kingdom. The channel launched as BBC News 24 on 9 November 1997 at 17:30 as part of the BBC's foray into digital domestic television channels, becoming the first competitor to Sky News, which had been running since 1989. For a time, looped news, sport and weather bulletins were available to view via BBC Red Button.
On 22 February 2006, the channel was named News Channel of the Year at the Royal Television Society Television Journalism Awards for the first time in its history. The judges remarked that this was the year that the channel had "really come into its own."
From May 2007, UK viewers could watch the channel via the BBC News website. In April 2008, the channel was renamed BBC News as part of a £550,000 rebranding of the BBC's news output, complete with a new studio and presentation. Its sister service, BBC World was also renamed BBC World News while the national news bulletins became BBC News at One, BBC News at Six and BBC News at Ten. Across the day the channel averages about twice the audience of Sky News.

E24 (or commonly E24 Bollywood) is an Indian cable television and satellite network, owned by BAG Films & Media Limited.
History
The film industry is the staple entertainment diet for millions in India and abroad. The appeal of Indian cinema is universal and the glitz and glamour of Bollywood have dazzled the world for almost a century. There are several channels on air featuring aspects of the Indian film industry. Despite a huge demand, however, there was no channel with dedicated 24-hour programming on news about Bollywood. In spite of the growing clout of Bollywood, there was no channel with its finger on the industry’s pulse. And so, the avid couch potato did not really have a 360 degree perspective of Bollywood.
Keeping this vacuum in mind, BAG Films launched E24, Bollywood's No. 1 Channel, in March 2008, under the Broadcast 24 umbrella. Modern, interactive, informative and passionate, the channel reports the glitz and glamour of Bollywood with honesty, zeal and commitment. Films, music, entertainment reviews, gossip, scoops and scandals- the channel features all such programmes in unique style and looks.
