B.B.C. America
April 17, 2005

In the War of 1812, the British invaded the U.S. In the 1960's, there was another British invasion of a different sort, brought on by the Beatles. Now, it looks like there is another one, of sorts.
Called BBC America, this is the online site of the British Broadcasting Corporation, the national news service of Great Britain, affectionately known as the "Beeb". Here you can find out about the programming they will be offering on our side of the Atlantic. You can meet the personalities, find out the types of shows, and even take a peek at what is being shown in Great Britain.
This site goes to show that this is truly a shrinking world. Now you can catch what other countries think about the happenings in ours, as well as getting a local, you are there perspective of life in a foreign country. It can come in handy as well, if you are planning a trip to the United Kingdom and Europe, as the Mayor of WorldVillage will be doing in a few days.

BBC America = B grade tripe. From a business perspective I think the reason is that if the BBC makes a good show, it can sell it to PBS or the mainstream channels – so you don’t need the BBC to see it. Result is that the schedule is packed with middling to weak shows interspersed with gems you’ve already seen a hundred times elsewhere.
