Please add BBC World News and BBC America HD.

[CostaMesaCAGuy]

I would appreciate it if AT&T U-verse would add BBC World News (Verizon FiOS has it) and BBC America HD (Time-Warner has it).

[jsoltis]

I agree, BBCA-HD would be a good add!

[enamorate]

BBC America HD channel is the only one I  am waiting to watch!

[dhascall ACE - Master]

Wonder if someone will ask for Al Jazeera HD at some point.   In all honesty, I have been told that that outlet is as unbiased as they come. 

Ducking and Grinning - too old to Run.

[jamesequinn]

I agree please add BBC America HD - we need Doctor Who in Hi Def.  Thanks U-Verse for adding TCM HD!

I've also heard such things about Al Jazeera.  Supposedly, you *can* get that channel in the US if you know where to look.

I'll add My vote here as well!  I really want to watch Doctor Who in HD!

[Canadadry]

BBC and Al Jazeera are one in the same.

[wendigo]

Please keep the political commentary to yourself. Any further political comments will be removed - thanks!

[petesjca]

Howdy,  Please add BBCA HD to Uverse.  Thanks

[NBuckmaster]

I also agree - we need BBC America HD.

[Brianbastos]

I agree BBC America in HD would be nice, do me a favor, get a petition going and mail it to Att headquarters in Dallas! Good Luck!

While some employees and managers of AT&T occasionally read the threads in this forum, requesting a channel here is not the best way to let AT&T know that this channel is wanted.

The best way is to follow the Channel Request Procedure.  This will get your channel request logged into a database that AT&T uses to gauge customer channel requests.

What is going on?  Have you checked your TV?  Do you actually have U-Verse?  BBC America is on 188 on my U-Verse lineup and most likely everyone elses.........

[trparky]

dhascall, I think the person is talking about the HD versions of those channels.

I want BBC America in HD, Doctor Who demands HD!

[kryptonite]

Wait a day, and watch the episodes online.  I wonder if the quality through BBC America's website is better.  I know the streaming quality at www.fox.com/fod is great.

D'oh!  Gotcha.  At any rate, Wikipedia says that BBC America is on 188 (SD) and 1188 (HD) maybe Wiki knows something that we don't.

Since CNN does not do news anymore, or it is does news very poorly, FOX never did news, please add BBC World News.

On March 28th, viewers in the U.S. will be able to see our nightly news program BBC World News America in a new place, time, and format. For the last three and a half years, we have aired as an hour-long program each weekday at 7pm on the BBC America and BBC World News channels. From March 28th, a new 30 minute BBC World News America will be made available to public television stations across the country. Because each of these stations determines its own program schedule, air times will vary from city to city; viewers will need to check their local listings or the website of their public (PBS) station. BBC World News America will no longer appear on the BBC America channel, but WILL continue on the BBC World News channel.

This shift is happening for several reasons. First, the BBC is making an effort to establish two strong and distinct channels in the U.S. market. BBC America will have more of an entertainment focus going forward, while BBC World News is a global 24 hour news channel. At the moment, BBC World News is not as widely available as BBC America, and we hope that viewers who value our smart and impartial international coverage will contact their cable or satellite provider to ask that BBC World News be added to their channel lineup. At the same time, we have a valuable, long-standing relationship with public television in America, and we want to make our very best work available to the maximum number of American viewers via that path as well.

Our approach to the news will not change; we will still try every day to bring viewers the best of BBC journalism from all around the world, and to 'connect the dots' from America to the wider world. Whether it's the global economy, the ongoing turmoil in the Middle East, Japan's earthquake crisis, the environment, or the arts, what happens 'out there' matters more and more here in America, and we'll be there to cover it. Matt Frei and Katty Kay will continue to anchor the program from Washington, and our crack production team will continue to open a window to the world each and every weekday. We hope you'll make the effort to continue watching BBC World News America, either on your local public television station or on BBC World News.

From your post your are obviously an employee of BBC World News, or perhaps an executive with that news organization. This is a peer-to-peer forum for U-Verse subcribers.

Since you are part of BBC World News you need to contact the powers in charge of AT&T U-Verse in order to discuss with them the addition of BBC World News to the U-Verse channel lineup.

[landolfc]

yes! you are correct, i have looked toward Al Jazeera before CNN and Fox News for sure in most cases! They are an excellent news outlet, world class!

[stinkybrit]

I definitely want to see BBC America in HD added. I have just come from FiOS and suffered through 3 years of promises to add it and no actual action, i am hoping i don't get the same with U-Verse...

[CostaMesaCAGuy]

Time-Warner is the only provider that offers BBC America in HD.
