iNews-style IRC channel. Anyone know where it is?

I used to frequent a news channel on some irc server that presented
itself like iNews, where each entry was color-coded green, yellow,
orange, or red based on how "important" or "serious" the headline was.

I swear it was just #inews or #i-news on rizon or freenode, but
apparently I'm crazy because those don't exist.

Anyone know what I'm talking about and/or a similar IRC channel?


Edit: I *think* I stumbled into the channel while I'm looking for a
solid replacement. I'm not at home so I'm using a web client and the
formatting might be a bit off, or they adjusted the bot's formatting
in the channel, but it seems to be the same. #newsroom on rizon

I'm curious, too

I'm still not sure if this is the channel I used to visit, but it's
similar.  #newsroom on Rizon. They use some color coding. Breaking
news in red, market headlines in orange, upcoming market movement in
yellow, and then a couple other colors for other things.

I feel like I remember something like this, but I was always on
AfterNET.

No, they go extra hard with the colors. Black background on all the
bot text.

It's not color coated but I have an RSS bot posting news feeds every
15-30 minutes on my IRC Server o.o

is it specifically the inews feed? If i remember correctly, the
channel I visited was just spitting out what inews got. Which was
really nice since inews costs a shit load of money and is only used by
huge press people.

Hi - we run #newsroom on Rizon and
[iNewsroom.net](https://iNewsroom.net)  for news & market traders.
Feeds are colour-coded for category/urgency etc.

Cheers.
