NPR has been broadcasting the BBC World News for years. Hasn't had much of an audience penetration in the US at all.

As long as they show mysteries, I'll watch, if they show their news readers, I'll pass.

LOL. Most Euro's I know are ignorant fools. And one common denominator is that they all watch BBC.

I don't see pimping Socialism and trashing America as being "sophisticated." Then again, I'm not a liberal DemocRAT.

I lost the little respect I had left for the BBC when I heard about one of their reporters crying over the death of the terrorist named Yasser Arafat.

The British armed forces don't want the BBC broadcasting to their troops in wartime. That tells me all I need to know about which side they're on.

I enjoy watching BBC America on cable, but their news is dryer than a popcorn fart.

Another channel not to be on my favorites list, thus not on my remote.

I'm old enough to remember when the BBC was respected throughout the world as a source of truthful information--but that was back when the Russians looked to the Western newsmedia for truth and Westerners dismissed Pravda as a propaganda machine.

American news sources tend to cover the United States mainly. The BBC offers a larger area of coverage, although it tends to be liberal. Plus, their website is tidily arranged, whilst many American news websites are a riot of color and haphazardly arranged.

Didn't we already cut the chord with England?

Their motto can be: "Not necessarily true, but it is sophisticated!"

The only British program that was ever produced was Benny Hill.

The BBC makes CMM seem conservative.

Just like with CNN, the BBC believes that if you have newscasters who talk with a english accent and wear glasses, it's supposed to make the news automatically more intelligent.

Well...it's a charming accent and I do enjoy hearing about some places I don't usually hear about, but my initial, very personal impression is that they aren't very bright. That's my impression of NPR as well but the Beeb has better cleavage...

So how is the BBC going to be any different than the canadian version- the CBC? It's all the same leftist liberal crap, paid for by the taxpayers of the country of origin.

"With more and more newspaper and magazine readership moving online the BBC is well placed to knock lumps out of large numbers of local and national newspapers -"


Not in America they won't.
And not on conservative newspapers or web publications.

The BBC ceased to be relevant on May 8, 1945.

Ahhh . . . a BBC word meaning Marxist, liberal, USA hating, globalist clap-trap.
