There is also a BBC World News America channel but its most recent video is from 2008. There is an MSNBC.com profile (called msnbcReporter ) that has not been updated since 2008. So I wonder if BBC has stopped maintaining its news channels on YouTube. 4) I also could not find a current channel for MSNBC.
