Re: FW: Stop Media Monopoly

Katy: We do get BBC America, but it too, is crumbling. For example, they took Ground Force--which was a marvelous show--and moved it to America with--oh, forget it! Even BBC news leaves out a great deal because it tries to cover in an hour what needs at least two. Better is listening to BBC World Service. But that's hardly the point of the argument, is it? I was pointing out that a lot of people do not get, or cannot afford to get, BBC or PBS. Best, Peter

In order to get local channels--which are generally
round-up's of truck accidents on our infamous I-40 or I-26--it would cost me
an additional $6.00 a month--which as a writer I cannot afford and refuse to
pay--so we opt for cable and get a number of terrible stations with just a
few noteworthy additions--and no PBS!


Then might I humbly suggest trying BBCAmerica???  It really does have world news on it and is in most cable/satellite packages
