Go to a news channel

How to say this: suppose someone is watching a film on the TV on a movie channel. I want to watch a news channel. How can I ask him to go to a news channel? Which are the verbs we can use in such a context?
  

Top answer

Purely in terms of verb use, I would say "Can you switch over to ... " followed by the channel name. However, this might seem a bit rude if you are interrupting someone else's viewing.

Then ask whether you could watch the news for a while.
