You're kidding right???
American t.v. is all pervasive..
On my first trip to Moscow in the late 90's, the first t.v. show I saw upon turning on the set was Baywatch - granted it was dubbed in Russian, but Pamela was there in all her red swimsuit glory.
A baywatch question, would Pamela be considered American or Canadian? I ask bacause while she was born in Canada, I fully expect that her "enhancements" were US technology. - you know like six million dollar man...
I agree that 'foreign' hotels should have more English t.v. content... shows like the Beachcombers, King of Kensington and Hockey Night in Canada spring to mind as sure fire winners.
