Looking for live, streaming tv news to play in the background on my work computer.

I'm looking for streaming tv (news or the like) to play in background while I'm at work. I know cnn has a free live stream, but that gets kind of boring sometimes. Tried looking around for a cnbc or msnbc live stream but couldn't find either. Does anyone know of someplace to get something like that (looking for legal - this is a work comp) or is cnn the only 24 news channel with live, free streaming? I'm in the US btw and on a pretty fast connection so throw what you got at me.

Thanks

You could also get a slingbox.

Try Zattoo.com which will stream about 20 stations. It works well on my system.

Thanks all for your suggestions so far. However, I guess I should have been clearer. I'm looking for a list of news orgs that have free streaming tv news on their websites in a pop up form or something. Live tv or radio is fine. I'm not looking to download a program and run it on my work computer.

If anyone has more suggestions I'd appreciate it.

Thanks.
