Do you love keeping up with all the latest news? Sometimes it feels like the news is too much, but my dad loves it. Just can't get enough. The introduction of the ABC's 24-hour news channel years ago was like manna from heaven for him.

Now Foxtel is launching a service for all the news nerds, promising streaming access to 20 news sources from around the world for just $8 a month.

The service, called Flash, is a first-of-its-kind live and on demand news-only streaming service.

Flash promises access to trusted news sources including Al Jazeera, BBC World News, CNN International, CNBC, France24 as well as untrustworthy news sources like Fox News and Sky New Australia.

The service is available on phones, tablets, PCs and TVs for just $8 a month and will feature user innovations including:  personalisation, allowing users to follow the opinions, topics and news that matter to them and FlashLists, the ability to create and save stories to watch later.

Soon after launch more features will be available including FlashPoint, providing every angle of every story and FlashNav, getting straight to the big moments of stories faster. 

You can sign up today for their 14-day free trial (for new customers) with no lock-in contracts at www.flashnews.com.au.
