Re: [Swprograms] BBCWS American coverage

[jfiglio1@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

A guess on my part, but I think an educated one.

They are waiting for DRM. Starting very soon, the WS will be 
broadcasting 18 hours a day to Europe once again, but via DRM.  They 
send two hours to NA daily via Sackville in DRM already.  When DRM 
announces a roll out to NA in the same way as they have just announced 
a roll out to Europe, I would bet that the Beeb would greatly expand 
its DRM schedule here.
