**Q: I can listen to bbc news form it?**
A: BBC World stopped broadcasting to the US in 2001. I use to listen on 5975khz at night all the time. It's either NPR (ugh) or SiriusXM satellite radio in the US anymore.

**Q: Is there battery included?**
A: Bad luck Lucas, or you're buying from the wrong places. Every radio I ever bought came with batteries, including the last 2 I bought last year... and I've owned a lot of radios.
