In addition to newspapers, you can access a wide range of radio and televised broadcast news channels through a number of web resources.
The Library subscribes to Box of Broadcasts (BoB), which keeps an archive of news broadcasts broadcast in the UK back to the summer of 2007. See the box below for more details on using BoB.
Box of Broadcasts (also known as BoB) is an archive of free-to-air TV and radio programmes available to you through the University of Huddersfield Library subscription. You can choose to watch previously recorded programmes, request future programmes and save lists of programmes for your learning, teaching or research.
