Reviews of BBC World Service

Most RecentHighest RatedLowest Rated

Review

Generally good coverage of important world events, but too much breathless reporting on the topical U.S. election. Very good documentaries and series such as 'good bad billionaire.
Left Coast BoyLeft Coast Boy

Balanced News

It is nice to have a news program that leans neither left or right, but just gives you the daily update on everything that’s going on in the world without an opinion as to whether that is good or bad.
