Re: [Swprograms] BBCWS American coverage

[John Figliozzi <jfiglio1@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I didn't say it made sense, but it is what they're doing in Europe  
(e.g.: DW announced end of analog to Europe within next year;  
replaced by DRM...  BBCWS committing to 18 hrs/day on DRM).  So, why  
wouldn't they take the same approach here?  BBC has two hrs/day to NA  
in DRM; none on analog.
