BBC World News America

I watch and trust this fine program, and I watch it every day as my main news report because I like the well-rounded substance of the stories. I.am 90 years old.

BUT I really dislike the "music" that plays in the background of the short headline reports-bong bong bong. It is added, I guess, to add dramatic effect, like the haunting drum beats behind a murder mystery.. Those of us with HEARING PROBLEMS find it very annoying and miss some of the words of the reports. There is enough drama in the news already. Words and pictures are enough. Thanks for letting me complain. This should be easy to fix.

The stories and reports are refreshing in their honesty and subject matter. No Kardasians or silly reports that consume American newscasts. On this day the reporter was in Indonesia and revisited the exact area where over one hundred and fifty thousand people lost their lives. That terrible event took her parents and had left her as a ten year old orphan. That young orphan is a now twenty-one year old young lady making her way through life. This survivor of the 2004 Tsunami broke my heart and the reporter brought that home in a way this viewer is not used to seeing on American television.

Thank you!

I am floored by the honesty, lack of bias, and incredible coverage of this channel. Their unique input from an outside-in perspective gives all their viewers a unique news experience, honesty! Though sad to say, their lack of "weight in the contest" allows them to say what happened, simple and honest.
