		As phenomenal as the BBC in all its facets is (TV, radio, website,...) as totally meaningless BBC America is. At home, we used to subscribe to the extensive cable package only because BBC America was in the upper channels.
		BBC America is too full of commercials for even an American's taste---the network even schedules commercials in the middle of scenes, for God's sake.

	BBC Broadcasts America’s Bioweapons Culpability But Omits British Ties to the Anthrax Mailings
		I conclude that officials within the Bush administration, apparently including the president and FBI director Robert Mueller, are aware of Bioport’s ties to Porton Down and the British oligarchy, as well as the CIA’s involvement with the Battelle Memorial Institute in their illegal manufacture and “insider” mailings of the hyperweaponized anthrax.
		America's anthrax attack last autumn was second only to that on the Twin Towers in the degree of shock and anxiety it caused...Some even say the anthrax letters triggered sub-clinical hysteria in the American people...yet this, the first major act of biological terrorism the world has seen remains an unsolved crime...
		America's desire to protect its biodefense programme from scrutiny at all costs was part of why it walked away from an international agreement to control biological weapons last summer.

	An Open Letter to the BBC World Service
		BBC has made a decision that North America is not interested in its feature programs.
		We have an exceptionally high regard for the BBC and for the United Kingdom, and this regard is transmitted to these families and friends.
		The BBC puts such a strong signal into North America that it sounds as good as most local AM (MW) stations, so you don't need to be a "radio freak" to listen; most listeners aren't.

		America is also changing - Churchill, the Battle of Britain or the "Special Relationship" mean little to many of its citizens, not least the millions with their roots in Latin America, Asia or Africa.
		However, among those with an interest in world affairs the BBC maintains a reputation for truly global coverage in an age when the main networks are focusing ever closer to home.
		A former news producer and business presenter for BBC World, the corporation's overseas arm, she was selected this summer to spearhead the corporation's expansion into American television, after less than two years presenting live bulletins.

		British viewers recently saw two-minute "documentaries" that the BBC produced for the French automaker Renault to coincide with the launch of a new van, and the BBC has produced promos for clients ranging from Lexus to Vodafone.
		John Smith, the BBC's finance director, draws a distinction between the gripes of commercial competitors that feel the BBC has not adhered to fair-trading rules and those — like BSkyB and Disney — that simply object to the presence of a publicly funded competitor in their markets.
		Tony Blair's government in 2000 commissioned an independent assessment of the BBC's internal rules, and it concluded that they "are appropriate to ensure that the BBC does not distort competition in commercial markets." But, the report noted, it's one thing to have rules in place and another to implement them.

		"About a fifth of America, half the West, is semi-desert; for centuries much of it has been at the mercy of the Colorado River, which is either a trickle that leaves the land parched, or a torrent that floods it with silt.

	AfterEllen.com - BBC America's Tipping the Velvet Cheats Viewers (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		BBC America's much-touted broadcast of Tipping the Velvet was marred by poorly executed cut-aways and censorship unbecoming of the BBC.
		The May 13th issue of The Advocate featured a rather lengthy and detailed interview with series star Rachael Stirling, giving us all the gory details as to what Nan would be up to and how Stirling's mother, Dame Diana Rigg, reacted to seeing her daughter bare all.
		Perhaps BBC America's editors should spend a little less time watching British television and more time watching ours before making these kinds of judgments in the future.

	Got a Case of the Mondays? - The healing powers of BBC America's The Office. By Virginia Heffernan
		Lorenzo Lamas' boner jokes on Hot came off as grinding, studied lechery, and Married by America narrowed down its contenders so hastily that the network seemed to be hustling everyone into bad marriages, as if racing to get to the inevitably miserable he-said/she-said aftermath special.
		On Thursday, BBC America reran the pilot, and I went through it very slowly, rewinding and pausing to get every last bit of pleasure from it.
		The first season's rendering of a complex variety of stasis—the kind endured by intelligent, loveless, undereducated people for whom television and movies alone take the edge off life's claustrophobia—makes it an unlikely comedy, but it is never not funny.

		Certainly, the legions of BBC defenders and partisans all but argue that there may not be a Britain without the BBC.
		The mood of the BBC faithful in Edinburgh was self-congratulatory (self-congratulation seems to be in the BBC DNA), but with a sneer of pugnaciousness.
		Since the BBC itself collects it, nobody in government can reapportion it or redistribute it—the BBC, unlike every other public-broadcasting system in the world, is not only well funded but well protected from politicians.

	Wire in the Blood - Second Season
		The BBC has apparently expected to ride on the reputation of the series' leading actors, instead of contributing toward its long-standing reputation for quality programming here.
		Indeed, BBC America has been an active and eager contributor to the process, replacing dramatic series with home-improvement, house-and-garden, and other reality-TV type shows.
		Compared with the rest of BBC America's current programming, or indeed, the overall output disgorged into America's cables, Wire in the Blood emerges as comparatively intelligent, cinemagraphically sophisticated, and satisfying, if not nourishing, brain candy for the detective-drama junky.
