Any person alive in America can buy a sattelite and get not only the BBC but french reporting, italian , and many other's if their cable provider does not have it.

Statement's like that really make me question if you know what you are talking about. The BBC IS in America for anyone who want's it.

No need to question Mordenheim. I've been to America and seen BBC there on PBS [img]smile.gif[/img]

What you get is an Americanised version of the real thing. It's called "BBC America"

Here's tonight's line up for you:

7:00 pm ET Ground Force
7:30 pm ET Changing Rooms
8:00 pm ET Coupling
8:40 pm ET Absolutely Fabulous
9:00 pm ET Absolutely Fabulous
9:40 pm ET Coupling
10:20 pm ET Absolutely Fabulous


You don't get Question Time though. That would be Absolutely Fabulous.

A serious question for anyone who does watch BBC America. Do you have subtitle for Eastenders or is it dubbed?

You get Bargain Hunt! Love it. You get Graham Norton and Father Ted even though they aren't BBC shows.

Come on. Fess up. Does anyone know someone who watches the Beeb in the US?
