Starting with the August 6, 2007, update, the ''News Channel'' shows a [[news ticker]] in the Wii Menu. However, not visiting the channel for a period of time will result in the ticker not appearing, until the channel is viewed. A December 20, 2007, update only released in PAL regions increased the number of news feeds to the channel, sourced from a larger number of news resources and agencies, providing more news that is available per country.<ref>[http://gonintendo.com/viewstory.php?id=32000 GoNintendo » Blog Archive » Wii News Channel updated- What are you waiting for?<!-- Bot generated title -->] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090715164155/http://gonintendo.com/viewstory.php?id=32000|date=July 15, 2009}}</ref> As with the Forecast Channel, the ''News Channel'' is not available in South Korea.<ref name=SK>{{cite web|url=http://www.siliconera.com/2008/04/14/wii-launches-in-south-korea-on-april-26-with-even-cheaper-virtual-console-games/|title=Wii launches in South Korea on April 26 with even cheaper Virtual Console games|work=Siliconera|date=April 14, 2008 |access-date=February 7, 2015}}</ref>

Line 219:

''Everybody Votes Channel'' was launched on February 13, 2007, and was available in the Wii Channels section of the Wii Shop Channel. The application allowed Wii owners to vote on various questions using their [[Mii]] as a registered voter. Additionally, voters could also make predictions for the choice that would be the most popular overall after their own vote had been cast. Each Mii's voting and prediction record was tracked and voters could also view how their opinions compared to others. Whether the Mii was correct in its predictions or not, it was displayed on a statistics page, along with a counter of how many times that Mii voted. Up to six Miis could be registered to vote on the console. The channel was free to download. Each player could make a suggestion for a poll a day.

''Everybody Votes Channel'' was shut down on June 28, 2013, as with the other channels.<ref name="gameinformer.comGame Informer"/>
