- For those of us in Canada who can receive CBC Newsworld on cable, the
- BBC news is transmitted at 10:30, 11:30 and 12:30 pm Eastern,
- following The National. It may even be on after that, but I haven't
- been up that late. I have also seen a 10 minute newscast in the
- morning package, around 8:50 I think. Newsworld is on Anik but it's
- scrambled.
