Hi peeps,
Just wondered if anyone else listens to the BBC World Service radio station. I have it on at home because I like the fact they have contributors from all over the world and a good mix of programmes.
Any other listeners from around the world? |

I listen to it on a local NPR station and love the perspective it builds with the American national new services.

| | The only winning move is not to play. | | Join Date: Nov 2003 Location: Gainesville/Ft. Lauderdale, FL | | | Used to listen way late at night while driving around town before I graduated. I really prefer the BBC to the mainstream media outlets here. There's just way to much sensationalism (among other things) plaguing our media.
Unfortunately, I now have to be a day person despite my true nocturnal nature.
