ABC News Now, will come to the UK.

Digital Spy reports that ABC News Now, the US news channel from Disney, will launch in the UK within the next 6 months.

What ABC News Now does which is different to what other news channels do, is that they have 5 minute News Briefs every half hour, with feature programming between times. ABC News Now also airs an extra hour of Good Morning America at 9am Eastern, which doesn't air on the terrestrial network, plus it also airs the World News Webcast live at 3pm Eastern Time. They break away from the recorded programming for Breaking News and Live News Events as warranted.

Looking forward to this arriving on digital satellite, as it will provide an alternative American view to the one put forward by Fox News Channel. I would love to see MSNBC and CNN domestic over here as well, but I think that increasingly unlikely to ever happen.
