Re: [OT] BBC (was Re: Lookalikes...)

Greetings Dennis,

Thanks for the link. I obviously haven't seen World Report in a few months. My hope would be that she'll be able to continue reporting more or less "unbiased" content. This is sort of what CNN World News purports to be but I must admit, at this point I'm concerned with what's coming out of the newscasts on the two CNN channels we subscribe to.

Tie-in to AppleScript is that I think the 'say' command should have an option for 'using Daljit'. For my taste, this would be preferable to "Victoria Hi-Kwality".

That's the sad state of affairs reflected in the BBC these days. And why did they drop Daljit Dhaliwal for someone who doesn't enunciate as well?


Philip --

From CNN's web site <http://www.cnn.com/CNN/anchors_reporters/cnni/dhaliwal.daljit.html>:

Daljit Dhaliwal is an anchor for CNN International, based in the network's Atlanta headquarters. Currently, Dhaliwal is an anchor for World News and also hosts World Report, CNN's longest running program, which gives the world's broadcasters a global forum from which to report the news 'as they see it' to the rest of the world.

Dhaliwal joined CNN in August 2002. An accomplished broadcast journalist, Dhaliwal was previously an anchor for the British Broadcasting Corporation's (BBC) 24-hour international news channel, BBC World. She then went on to anchor World News for Public Television, which was produced by Britain's ITN network, and seen throughout the United States. Dhaliwal also co-anchored ITN's Channel Four News and served as a primetime anchor on ITN's 24-hour news channel. While at ITN, she also anchored World Focus, a weekly international news show....


I think that it was Daljit who dropped BBC, and later ITN, to go for the gold. Good for her. Were this ten (or even five) years ago I would expect her to head for one of the American big-three within a year or two and wind up on a morning show, maybe graduate to weekend anchor. These days I suspect she will find her best-compensation niche with the CNN companies and do quite well.
