BBC World News TV Channel

They need to have a CNN equivalent from all the english speaking countries and make that a package. I'd like that much more than any of the movie channels.
 
BBC News World would be good, there is no need for CNN International as most of their programming are just simulcasts from CNN.
 
I don't think by adding BBC the bill will go up by 10%. May be they can remove one of the existing news channels and add BBC instead :)
 
Hopefully, BBC World News will be added by Dish soon. Even some very tiny providers have it on their systems in this country so there is no legitimate reason Dish can't carry it.

6 million homes? I hope to tell you they were tiny......

If you are thinking Dish will Drop Fox, MSNBC, CNN, etc... you have stronger liquor than I can get.
 
That was just a joke.. But I hope that the Comcast deal will help open up other providers to offer this channel.. and hopefully Dish will be one among them.
 
Do you really want your bill going up 10%?

I highly doubt that adding BBC World News would mean a 10% increase in our bill. I know the BBC is looking for more ways to earn money, but this isn't ESPN we are talking about here.

Maybe he's confusing Comcast with Cablevision? Otherwise, there's also Verizon FIOS and COX.

You're joking, right? I'm sure BBC World News would cost very little to add. And, Dish could use it as a tool to upsell to AT200 and higher.

After all, Dish is the leader in International programming. And, despite the fact they speak English, the UK is still a foreign country.
 
Actually, the more I think about it, the cheaper I think it would be for Dish. After all, it is available free-to-air. And, many of its programs are available for free on numerous PBS stations. So, it's obvious that the BBC isn't necessarily looking to make big bucks from it.
 
Want BBC World News here too. I don't mind CNN, or MSNBC, but I want a 24x7 news channel, too. Euronews is ok, but not as good as BBC or AJE. I often stream Al Jazeera English through my Roku/Google TV, but would prefer an actual channel where I wasn't using data bandwidth and one that I could put up in side by side PIP, and swap with my other tuner.
