[Swprograms] BBCWS American coverage

["Sandy Finlayson" <sfinlayson@xxxxxxx>]

How would BBCWS judge effectiveness of XM/Sirius, other than by counting subscribers.  

Is there ANY sense that BBCWS is concerned about how poor their American frequencies have worked? Is there ANY hope they may use better frequencies for the next SW season for the Americas and is there ANY hope they might restore the midday SW broadcasts at least on the weekends?

I've been asking my Bush House contacts for someone who is in a
position to judge how effective XM/Sirius have been at reaching US
residents.  So far I haven't connected with one...which is somewhat
odd...you'd think someone within Bush House would be paying attention
to that.
