maark Posted October 29, 2018 Posted October 29, 2018 have realised that the newround RSS feed on our digital signage screens is no longer updated by the bbc - - this still has world cup stories on. struggling to find anything about it from bbc or google. Are they discontinuing it? Don't want to have main news feed as sometimes too disturbing for 11- 16 years. Anyone else have same problem or suggestions for suitable RSS feed?
jnfarmer Posted October 29, 2018 Posted October 29, 2018 Yep, we've noticed this on ours as well. Tempting to put the disturbing news feed up to see if anyone is actually paying attention to our digital signage... 1
maark Posted October 29, 2018 Author Posted October 29, 2018 You can put BBC local weather on https://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/about/17543675 - have done this for now until I can get something more interesting
TechMonkey Posted October 29, 2018 Posted October 29, 2018 This happened before and they knew but were working on it. I think I then found a new URL had been posted without any fanfare. Either the problem has happened again or they have abandoned it quietly. I've sent a message to the BBC, see what happens. 1
TechMonkey Posted October 29, 2018 Posted October 29, 2018 Just been given this as the new address https://feeds.bbci.co.uk/newsround/home/rss.xml 2
Danp Posted May 10, 2021 Posted May 10, 2021 Just been given this as the new address https://feeds.bbci.co.uk/newsround/home/rss.xml Link does nothing for me now. Anyone still using Newsround news feed?
LeMarchand Posted May 10, 2021 Posted May 10, 2021 I think we dropped it in the end. I think the BBC did too, in around 2018 AFAICT. Not much luck through other methods, but you may get a working feed if you sign up at rss.app The preview looks promising. 1

[ATTACH=CONFIG]61755[/ATTACH] Thank you @LeMarchand I hadn't thought of that. This now works for me as a ticker on Yodeck.
5nowman Posted July 6, 2021 Posted July 6, 2021 Thank you @LeMarchand I hadn't thought of that. This now works for me as a ticker on Yodeck. Hi, hope you are well. Did you have any luck with this? I added the bbc link to the rss feed and it looks rubbish (keeps showing techsource for each article). Any ideas appreciated. Kind regards. 5nowman

I gave up in the end Sorry about that, I did suspect that they really want your sub. Anyway, I'm a big fan of RSS - I get to pick where I want news from, rather than what Google or MS think I need to know, to the extent that all my machines have Desktop Ticker installed and I have Feedly for when I have time to actually sit down and read (i.e. at breakfast). I've contacted the BBC (they do have some working feeds, as above) but don't hold your breath! 1

Once I knew it was pestering me, I ditched it, something to look at again in September.

Needs to be square and photo feed... or even children friendly newsround!
LeMarchand Posted July 13, 2021 Posted July 13, 2021 Much to my surprise, I actually got a reply from the BBC. OK, it was a standard one, but more than I was expecting. Thank you for contacting us about our website, and your concerns regarding the Newsround RSS feed. Due to the sheer volume of articles we publish on a daily basis, broken or incorrect links may occasionally appear despite our best efforts to avoid them. We’ve passed on your specific concern to the web team responsible for the item and they’ll investigate. If they confirm the error they’ll correct it as soon as possible. We're grateful for you bringing this to our attention. Thanks once again for getting in touch. I wonder if anyone will actually take a look - and, if they do, do anything more than remove this page: https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/14250780
eagerterrier Posted September 12, 2024 Posted September 12, 2024 The newsround feeds are running. There's a redirect from https://feeds.bbci.co.uk/newsround/home/rss.xml to https://feeds.bbci.co.uk/newsround/rss.xml which is showing content from today, so all looks good
