Try any of your local Public Radio stations and Public TV. NPR
rebroadcasts BBC several times a day and the Public TV counterpart
carries TV broadcasts during the evening.

I think your best bet is a $50 XM radio.

You can spend 20 times that to get a couple fuzzy hours a day.


That's a $50.00 XM radio plus monthly subscription fees.

Or you can catch plenty of BBC action at no added cost via the PBS
broadcasts. I've had mixed results with satellite radio so far. A
subscription service should provide near perfect reception, but it can
be spotty in the strangest locations.
