How can the BBC News 24 rolling news quarter screen channels be accessed?
Select the BBC News 24 channel (Freeview channel 80). Press the “Text” button or the red button to invoke the BBCi text system. Then select the “News Multiscreen” option. This option can also be accessed via the BBCi text system from the other normal BBC channels, but its position in the menu system varies. Opinion: The lack of Freeview channel numbers for the rolling news quarter screens makes them difficult to access, and I suspect that most Freeview viewers never discover them, or having accessed them once by accident never discover how to do so again. It would also be very desirable if these channels could be made full size. The BBC claim that bandwidth restrictions prevent them being made full size but a consideration of the low number of channels on some BBC multiplexes seems to negate that claim.
