Re: [Swprograms] BBC World...on the radio?

[Kevin Anderson <k9iua@xxxxxxxxx>]

I can't tell if you are talking about the radio side or the
television side (as to me BbC World means television).  If
television side, I know our local cable provider (Mediacom)
provides a BBC channel on their digital distribution.  I don't
get digital cable television at this point in time, sticking
with the cheaper analogue cable service until I am forced to go
digital with the February 2009 television switchover here in the
U.S.  I suspect other cable systems are similarly divided, with
the more specialized distributions on the digital side where
more channels are available.
