BBC is a regular on public radio and television and I find it to be a
good addition to the news programming already available on those

and television since the early days. I hope Pitts is not lamenting the
availability of high quality dramatic programming of non U.S. origins
as well. I see news from BBC as adding to the already wide range of
programming on public radio and television.

The World Service is not on television.
