Re: [Swprograms] OT: BBC World gears up for American launch

Current is a dreadful channel.  I tried to watch it when it first came on and soon gave up.

Perhaps those on this list who have DirecTV could send them feedback through their website telling them we would like this channel.  I have already done this.

I have to believe that NWI drew a bigger audience than "Current" (aka GoreTV). Who watches "Current" even with Google's backing? It is childish to say the least & praddles on with the "pods" from viewers. It is a shame we can't get any international news currently on DirecTV, although I am happy to have NASA TV finally!

There is an interesting program on LinkTV call "Mosaic" which condenses many Arab newscasts into a 30 minute show. Quite interesting to watch their slant vs. ours on Middle East events. 

Otherwise, LinkTV content is pretty whacked, like Current. I want my BBC!
