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.
The BBC news seems to be the only place to get international news anymore. The networks and cable news shows don't show anything going on in the rest of the world, while the BBC still does.
BBC news has to be the most dispiriting experience one can have watching television. I watched a few newscasts when they first became available many years ago and that was it for me.
ditto. I skip their "news" entirely. Unfortunately the Beeb also has too much junk programming despite the excellent mysteries and comedies. Why is their programming loaded up with Bargain Hunt or Cash in the Attic? Several times a week is acceptable, but it seems every day is filled with that those two borefests. More Father Ted, Benny Hill, and Midsomer Murders please.
