Several months ago, I did a review of many online news sources which also have audio. These news services filter all the various feeds and bring you more pertinent news which may have the potential to move markets or individual stocks.
If you haven't seen my original YouTube review, it's here:

As of a couple of days ago, Ransquawk started covering the Asian markets. So basically, they now bring the news 24 hours a day (instead of ending at 4:30 pm eastern time).
To me, this is very significant because the only other news service (with audio) that had around the clock coverage was "TradeTheNews.com". It's nice to see competition ramp up in this area.
Also, they have released an app for the iPad/iPhone and made it available in HTML5 so Android users can get news as well while on the go (although it doesn't have audio). This is something most others don't offer.
We all have our own trading styles. Trading the News is not for everyone. But I thought I'd pass this along for those who do want to keep on top of things.
I will probably do another video soon as some of the stuff is outdated in my original video.

Hello Howard,
Isn't a 24 hour coverage a prerequisite for a professional news service since a couple of years ?
First Call Market Squawk, another British news vendor, has a new name and offers now 24 h service as well.
Didn't check it out yet, but before I found them to be better than RanSquawk.
Their new URL is
http://www.livesquawk.com
Would be interested to hear/see about this mobile phone app, it's content, visibility, delay a.s.o.
Therefore, looking forward to your video review - just don't be so friendly to these guys anymore - they are making a lot of money off of us. Asking first class prices requires delivery of first class service.
Cheers,

Quote from doublechin:
Yawn! Sigma been 24hrs covering Asia for ages too. Ransquawk late as usual
What is this special (hate-) relationship between Sigma and RanSquawk all about ?
On both sides they seem to explode once you mention the name of the other...
Just curious.

Thanks for letting me know about the other services. I'm always looking for services with news at good prices. I'm in the middle of evaluating livesquawk.com as suggested in this thread. They are NOT a 24-hour service. There is no news during the Asian markets. They're just open for British and American stock market hours. I don't like livesquawk's platform either. They don't print all the news, just a few, so if you missed what the announcer said, you're SOL.
Livesquawk also exclusively covers "macro" news. They don't cover and bring news from individual stock names. Ransquawk is also "macro", but they do bring much more "micro" news than livesquawk.
I also subscribe to Benzinga.com as they bring more "micro" news than "macro". And they're the cheapest out there at $75/month. But they have a long way to go as it's a start up and they need to get better at bringing the news.
Next week, I wanna try Sigma. I think I had tried them before, but don't remember the details. I'll follow up here after testing them out again.

Great - like to have your assessment, also it seems we are pretty much on the same line.
Sigma, however, still has no text service as of yet.
On their website they claim to have it - but these news re-sellers always claim a lot and deliver little.
I was asking the other day, and they said they will add it in the nearby future
- but they already said so a year or more ago.
Adding text requires an interface and more manpower, and they hesitate to make the effort.
But without additional text all the squawk in the world is completely useless.
If First Call / Livesquawk doesn't has everything in text I do not have to trial them either.
