The BBC have just started a video feed of their news headlines in windows media format. This means all of us news junkies can watch it in MP under My Radio!
If you refer to this thread on setting up internet radio/tv stations, then use the example .asx file below you can see it for yourself:

Also if you go along to http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/3662574.stm you can find a more appropriate feed for yourself by viewing it, right clicking on the feed, selecting properties and copying the 'Location' string to the 'Ref href=' section below.

I've uploaded the sample file (called BBC News Headlines) to sonic_'s collection below:
