The Guardian is reporting that Israeli satelitte TV provider YES has dropped BBC World from its line-up in favour of al-Jazeera’s English station. This could be speculation, but perhaps the switch is because al-Jazeera’s English station provides more favourable coverage about Israel that the BBC does. Of note here is that this is the first dropping of BBC World as a result of the newly developed al-Jazeera English.
