Well I may be biased because I work for them, but it's almost entirely the BBC for me.
The international TV news channel is BBC World News. Are they simulcasting that on BBC America? I know BBC World News doesn't have the same footprint as other news channels on US cable packages. But then I know that BBC America just launched their big finale season of Killing Eve this evening, so I suspect that they're not doing news all the time. Anyway, BBC World News and the domestic BBC News Channel are probably simulcasting to a large extent right now, which they tend to do in times of crisis. Both are 24 hour services. While the anchors are live around the clock on that channel, reports in US primetime probably won't be live because of the time difference. The main 6pm and 10pm UK BBC news bulletins have been live from Kyiv for the last couple of days with Clive Myrie anchoring from there. I'm not sure how long they'll be able to continue that. In tonight's bulletin, they referenced a big explosion close by while they were on the air (it happened during a pre-recorded report). ]] The BBC has multiple people on the ground spread across the country as well as in nearby countries. There are also reporters covering it for radio. It's also worth knowing that BBC World Service has a Ukrainian service with local journalists permanently in place in Ukraine. The service's editor has written about leaving the capital to protect her family: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-60525725 I don't know how many staff the BBC has in total in the country, and I suspect that for security reasons they wouldn't say, but it's a substantial presence when you factor everyone in. Otherwise, ITV News and Sky News also both have significant numbers of journalists in the country. Sky journalists may be showing up in NBC coverage.
