General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

I think its a great asset having 24 hour news available.

Like Peter stated above. It benefits people that work unsociable hours who do not have the chance to watch it live.
Or people who have been out for the day / night and want to catch up on what has been going on whilst they have been out.

Lets not forget that the newspapers are printed prior to midnight , so any news can surface after the tabloids have been released! With 24 hour news you will hear it first via "breaking news".
Long may 24 hour news continue.
