If only there was an equivalent of CEEFAX Page 150!

You could select if you wanted it and if you did then just major news
stories and you could cancel when read.

It was far superior to anything now.

Playing devil's advocate, I guess they'd say that the news channel is
designed for people to dip into when they _want_ an instant news
summary; it's certainly _not_ designed to be watched continuously for
any length of time, which I'd like to do - well, like to is an
overstatement, but sometimes I'd like to leave it on. But the amount of
repetition - especially presented as if new - drives me nuts. (Hence my
wish that material aged over some time to be determined - 30-60 minutes
maybe? - be timestamped in vision, but they're never going to do that.)
Plus monostoryism of course (Coronation day was a supreme example of
that, even on BBC1).
