Hold the presses! Wii News Channel is released for the Wii console and adds to the collection of Weather, Shop, Mii, Disc, and Photo channels. The News Channel launched January 26, 2007 and is freely available to all Wii owners.
A second version of Wii News Channel will be freely available to Europe later this year, with more exclusive European news. The News Channel provides instant news on-demand by the press of a button. The Wii's WiiConnect24 feature will ensure that news will always be updated as long as the Wii is always on.
Wii users can catch news relevant to them by navigating a 3D Globe and selecting regions where the users reside in. They can opt to view international, regional, or local news, all provided by Associated Press (except for the Japanese, that will be provided by Goo).
In order to make use of the Wii News Channel service, customers must connect the Wii to a high-speed connection as demonstrated in the manual and activate the System Update. Once the update is complete, the Wii News Channel will be already downloaded. To keep news up-to-date, the Wii must be connected to the Internet.
