Here in Calgary, BBC World is available as part of full analog cable.

Okay.
Both the "local" public television networks I get (Iowa Public
Television and Wisconsin Public Television, as I am on the
border of both states) airs just a 1/2 hour of BBC news. One

1. It would seem to me to be lunacy to put liberal and conservative

Thanks for this Richard. I have been wondering about where things are
with the wider distribution of BBC World here in the States. There was
a big announcement 18 months ago or so that they had signed with a few

I occasionally go looking for new additions to the roster of public
radio stations rebroadcasting the World Service in their HD services,
