News500 is comedy with teeth, it speaks up for humour and tackles the weekly thorny issues of modern-day media. Responding to the piffle and posturing of the news channels, News500, tells it how it is - or at least how it should be - in 500 seconds-ish, but with jokes.

This is fast-paced, challenging, topical comment. Oh, and it's really funny.
Style, but not over substance
This is Brass Eye meets Mock the Week. Filmed in a global newsroom, it's fast paced, irreverent comment on current issues. It is naughty without being crude.
Two guest comedians are invited to present each week as anchors, with special reports from comedy stars. We welcome all, ranging from LGBT to the voice of Tunbridge Wells, if you have something to say, and it is funny, we will listen and broadcast.
Stories and comment are delivered with sparkling wit, backed up by a team of comedy writers from the international circuit. News500 rights the wrongs, challenges the norm, tackles the prickly issues - with irony and ridicule - and takes the establishment to task.
