Couldn't they broadcast it like they do overnight news 24?

No, I don't think there is a way. Anyway, it is made for a UK audidence hense the majority of its output being about domestic issues.

Also recently, News 24 were reading out some mobile text message and Anna Jones read out one from a guy in Florida ???

Anna commented she didn't know how he could be receiving News 24 in Florida.

Anyone?

BBC America is a subsidury of BBC World & BBC Worldwide.
All news programmes must be shown live as per the Charter, so doubt very much if it'll be shown on BBC America

The weeks after 9/11, BBC World was on 24/7 for like a week on BBC America.

They resumed that when Bush order bombings of Afghanistan.

Columbus Day morning at 1AM ET, BBC Breakfast went out on C-SPAN.

It was fun while it lasted...

Wouldn't the time difference between the USA and the UK render the concept of it being breakfast television redundant?

It would be shown at something like 2 or 3 in the morning if it was live, and I can't see many Americans tucking into a bowl of corn flakes at that time of the day!

And Breakfast television within the states must be strange to organise with breakfast in New York at say 7am being 4am in Los Angeles...

Well ABC, NBC and CBS's shows are live on the East Coast, but on the West Coast everything's tape delayed. So it goes on at 7am everywhere in the Lower 48 (I think). But look at CNN's 'America Morning.' Now IT goes on at 7am on the East Coast, and 4am out west. Wonder what kind of people watch that. (and one of the reasons I've never seen the show.)
