Re: [Swprograms] Sirius Canada lineup is now officially posted

And, speaking to your last point, almost all currently contracted-
for "feature" (i.e.: not news based) programming is to be discontinued 
by March 2006, as already announced by the BBCWS, and that which 
remains will be primarily scheduled on the weekends.  

I've just completed an exhaustive comparison of the various streams--
shortwave, satellite and internet--that the WS has on offer for 
January's Monitoring Times magazine.  The differences are already 
quite small (contrary to popular belief, the Sirius stream does carry 
considerable, though not all of the BBC's, feature programming on 
weekends) and, as Rich said, will be getting smaller.

In fact, I would not be surprised if the BBC decided to dispense with 
some of its current streams in the not too distant future.
