Agreed, Sandy. I did write to BBC America and they did send me a very nice 
response saying--in effect--that ratings for the morning news were low and that 
they have decided to place their limited resources into improving the BBC News 
America evening (7 and 10 p.m.) effort which has shown an increase in viewers.  
I said exactly what you said, that I would be condemned to watch the 
meaningless and awful daily diversionary pageant of the Today Show or GMA or 
CNN.  

They didn't budge.  :-))
