Glenn Reynolds of Instapundit often brings us Anglo-American news. His latest report came via Jeff Jarvis, and featured 18 Doughty Street, the new British news network. We posted on 18 Doughty Street's birth on October 10, 2006. Now we hear it is planning on making a splash in the States:
On 18 Doughty Street, the network, Dale is making at least five hours of live TV a night, five nights a week from 7p to midnight and he’s about to expand into America with a deal to use the Arlington, Virginia, studios of the Leadership Institute, and an offer to use the Heritage Foundation’s satellites. So they will feature more American guests and will rebroadcast their shows so East-Coast Americans can watch from 7pm-midnight local time. . .
18 Doughty has nightly news updates, talk shows (one with bloggers), and hour-long interviews with politicians (even they are surprised they get to talk for so long). They are about to enable viewers — 100 of whom (including a deputy assistant secretary of state in the U.S.) were given video cameras — to upload pieces; the best will be aired each night.
As Glenn says, "Very cool."

Over the last decade I have come to realise how much of all I value depends on ideas and traditions nurtured by Brits. I hope you will be inspired by what you find in this blog/website, and that you will help us to make it grow in brilliance and depth by becoming a Friend.
CATHERINE (CAT) GLASS
As an American who is the descendant of Czech, Irish, and English lovers of freedom, I am dedicated to bringing the courage and spirit of Brits at their best to you.
Join the CIRCLE OF FRIENDS HERE
The best of the Brits produced thousands of indispensable inventions, developed wildly popular sports, designed romantic houses and gardens, created astonishing literary masterpieces, lived with style and humour, tackled dangerous missions with daring and ingenuity, and fought with indomitable courage to establish and protect the free world. We aim to describe their superb achievements and extraordinary lives. We celebrate creativity and common sense, fair play and compassion, bravery and self-discipline, rational thought, freedom, faith, and wit.
