Timely, concise, clear. Good reporting. ACCURATE, too, at least back then it was.
It's what I relied on from inside Iran in the seventies for decent news reports, before and during and after the revolution. It was hard to hear it when the government started jamming the signal (and that was BOTH governments, the Shah's, when it got bad and he didn't want the masses to know just how bad it was, and Khomeini's, because it wasn't good to think for yourself, you see, and all those "Trial? We don't need no steenking trial!" hangings that were happening up north might have been demoralizing if they were widely known ), but with headphones on one could make out the reports; and to the BBC's credit, they were pretty complete. Also, the reports they ran in the wee hours of the morning weren't subjected to the jamming that the early evening report endured.
That said, you shouldn't have jamming problems in the US....and you should be able to find them on the shortwave dial. You might be able to find some Canadian reports as well on the shortwave, too.
A bit old fashioned, and lacking the video, but it does the trick.
