When you first start the News Channel, it may take a few minutes to download and display the latest headlines.

If you accessed the News Channel recently and have WiiConnect24 turned on, you can view recent headlines scrolling on the News Channel icon from the Wii Menu. These headlines also available on the Channel preview screen, before you even fully start the Channel. (See Chapter 5 for more about the Wii Menu and Channel preview screens.)
