BBC Alerts

BBC news and sport direct to your desktop

Be the first to read the latest news from the BBC. Whenever the BBC publishes new stories and videos, the BBC Desktop will alert you discreetly on your desktop. Click to view or not, it's up to you!

Delivering you a range of content from News Headlines, to Business to Sport, you are able to choose the content that interests you, to make this your personalised BBC channel.

Built on the Zebtab platform, you can add extra channels to the BBC Desktop. Choose from the likes of the Setanta Sports, YouTube & Maxim to create your very own rich media desktop experience.

The BBC Desktop is free, requires no registration and takes just a few seconds to download.

Dear Firefox user, you will find it easier to download BBC Alerts using IE (trust us, it is!). However, if you really really want to use Firefox, you can of course, just follow Firefox Guidance.

BBC Alerts works on Windows XP and Vista PC’s (sorry no Mac version yet)
