I only have Domestic Sky HD box with FTA channels. Astra 2 with 43cm Minidish. Would like to have FTA Astra 1 / Hotbird but that is a trivial wish.

CNN makes me cringe...
apart from the "africa" useless sequences,it s rather good. It should focus more on...life in the USA!
Too bed we do not get the real PBS!I mean their news & reports about present issues.

I'm not a fan of CNN. I watch Bloomberg a lot (even if the focus there mostly is economy).
CNN struggles a lot with the numbers of viewers and loses viewers every year. Probably for a reason.
I also watch CBS news online.
It's also fun to watch OAN now when you can get it on Hotbird. The reason being the channel is the same as it is in the US (no special edition for Europe). However if CNN leans left (which it does) OAN leans heavily right.

Right,OAN s ads show the heavy dependency of US citizens on expensive medicines and para-medical foods. Very exotic to us. Their news however are trash.... not even "contry road" news which would be fun to watch however faked by Evangelicals & the like.

@ Nalleman
You seem to know US channels well. Which one would be a GOOOD one today?
Well I don't know if I know them that well but I watch Bloomberg, CBS news, CNBC and PBS Europe (and sometimes OAN). Among them I prefer Bloomberg and CBS news
Unfortunately there aren't that many REAL US channels available unless you use VPN which I don't. Maybe it's time to consider doing it.
US radios on the other hand are widely available on internet so I often listen to some of them. There are many good apps which makes listening easy.
