I was wondering what had happened...I always had it on while getting ready in the morning...So now I'm left with GMA, ESPN and all the other fluff shit??? (granted, I never watched newsnight, though)



Jeremy Paxman's US Newsnight axed in shakeup at BBC America

Jeremy Paxman's big chance to break the US has ended after BBC America axed its US version of Newsnight as part of a series of changes that includes dropping its daily three-hour block of international news.

The BBC's commercial US channel, which is available in more than 63m American homes via digital, cable and satellite, today dropped its daily simulcast from the BBC World News channel, which aired between 6am and 9am, because of disappointing ratings.

The morning news block will be replaced with shows such as The F Word, Kitchen Nightmares and The Hotel Inspector.
