Re: [Swprograms] BBC World Service 75th Anniversary: "Memoryshare"project

On the one hand... understandable.  Looking at the other available 
options for this fare, the WS seems to have carved themselves quite a 
nice niche.  Some of that is echoed in BBC America's (TV) recent ads 
promoting their new hour long newscast for the U.S. each night at 7 ET.

On the other hand... would anyone expect them to say anything 
different?  <g>
