Radio News With A British Accent
Sunday, March 12, 2006; Page B08

You may have noticed a lot more British accents on local radio these
days. The BBC World Service has become a fixture on WETA and WAMU,
bumping the local programming that once was dominant.

WETA-FM, for example, now airs at least four hours of BBC World Service
Radio -- unfiltered -- each weekday. WAMU-FM also is airing much more
BBC programming, including on its overnight schedule.

BBC feed is cheaper than producing stuff locally. Most AM stations air
syndicated talk, and only have 1 or 2 local talk hosts. I know that the
local Air America station airs AA feed all day except for one four hour
slot.

How the heck could one stand to listen to AA all day to find that out?
