What image does the BBC have outside of Britain?

Question

How is it perceived? Is it respected as a broadcaster? Is it widely viewed?

Where are you, and what are your thoughts?

Answer 1

Left wing.

Not respected except in Muslim countries.

Widely viewed because of what the name used to mean.

Answer 2

I am In Canada and I watch BBC News on satellite everyday. And my father listens to them on the radio all the time. I feel the BBC is one of few broadcasters that actually delivers news, i.e not about Paris Hilton's new love, but about the 5 cruise missiles America sen at Somalia, the BBC being the only station that covered it.

I hope the BBC continues to go strong and stay unbiased.

Answer 3

Trust me people here in America actually interested in News, love BBC. Compare BBC with American media and you'll understand.

I check BBC news everyday!
