I know that BBC America has a show called 'BBC News America'.

Is it possible to see the same BBC news here that they see in the UK?

9. Nope
You don't even the same on their website. Put it this way, its illegal for the BBC to advertise,so if you are getting any adverts at all you sure ain't got what we get. I tried www.bbc.co.uk when I was in OH last Novemeber and realised you just get the sanitised stuff.

I can't tell if the BBC links on this page work or not; I think they require IE (which doesn't really work well in my Ubuntu operating system).

Sometimes there is a BBC feed on Justin TV. (link fixed)
