I've started to watch the BBC broadcast every afternoon.

No blaring obnoxious music and graphics, no crowing about how wonderful they are. It's just news done reasonably well.

It's just starting here on cable and one reason why I haven't dropped to a cheaper plan.

1. It's the first news I watch daily n/t

[Catshrink]

2. I can understand why.

They speak calmly and listen to each other. I swear the guy on now sounds like Scott Simon from Weekend Edition.

3. It is Scott Simon subbing today.

I love listening to him on Saturday mornings.

4. What cable company?

[Catshrink]

5. It's Cox Cable in Phoenix.

6. Most of them carry it now... "BBC America" Time Warner Cable out here n/t

[Duval]

7. BBC-America does have less "noise". However,

it is not like BBC World Wide, which actually reports the news more accurately. When Rupert Murdock bought interest in BBC, the web news as well as TV went on a slide to the right and began sounding like our Corporate Media, IMHO. I was so surprised and dismayed. Still, I can understand your perception because they don't sound as if they are shouting and seem to be less concerned about "entertainment".

13. In what way has "Rupert Murdock bought interest in BBC" ?

It's 'Murdoch', by the way.

10. Imagine what you'll find when you discover PBS.

11. Duh

[SoCalDem]

12. We used to get Deutshe-Welle every night, but no more

I enjoyed their broadcasts..
