The World Service is not on television.

Not sure what you are talking about. I copied this from
WETA: 6:00 pm BBC World News

That's not the World Service. The BBCWS is a seperate entitiy with
what are regarded as much higher standards than the rest of the BBC.

Interesting, I had simply thought that the 30-min news segments aired
on such stations as WHUT, MPT, and WETA were BBC WS television
feeds....the 30-min news segments that air every hour on the BBC WS
television schedule.

Sometimes when these 30 min segments go off, you can well see that
further BBC news content is being continued but that your local station
is carrying only a half-hour snip of a larger news program...

BBC World is joint venture with Discovery Channel, AIR.
