You will occasionally come across TV reports of "foreign
news" - where foreign means out-of-state!


UK TV News isn't a lot better.

But it's incomparably better than American tv news.

That's not difficult. :-)

BBC TV main news often only contains a few items.

Then it goes on to BBC regional news for whatever UK region viewers
in Britain live in.

I've never seen BBC UK news, national or regional, refer to any UK
events/news as "foreign news".

But as those living to the West of the Seven Bridge know, anything to
the East of the bridge IS foreign.

And I've never seen US news refer to out-of-state stories as foreign -
I've lost track - who claimed to have seen this?

We get the local W Sussex news, which you get depends how you set up the
freesat box (for those that use freesat).

I suspect the US/foreign news story is an urban myth. Then again, maybe
in west Texas...

On 101 all the other BBC variations are available in the 900's. ITV
variations are as well but not via the Freesat EPG, you have to go
via the "other satellite" or similar menu.

You can receive all the BBC regional news channels with Freesat.

Yes I know! That's how I've set up the post code.
