I can't tell if you are talking about the radio side or the television side (as to me BbC World means television). If television side, I know our local cable provider (Mediacom) provides a BBC channel on their digital distribution. I don't get digital cable television at this point in time, sticking with the cheaper analogue cable service until I am forced to go digital with the February 2009 television switchover here in the U.S. I suspect other cable systems are similarly divided, with the more specialized distributions on the digital side where more channels are available.
