I received the shortwave transmitions of the BBC for almost 20 years (1962- 1982) in english and in spanish, here in Argentina. Our newsbulletings depended in who was in charge of our goverment. We have TV CCN in spanish, very pro American. It wasn't the same with CNN in english. Some time ago I discovered an excellent place to read international news through internet from the BBC. It's only text news, excellent for ARACHNE a LYNX for Dos. Very speedy downloads.
