“We’re chuffed—I think I used that right—to be partnering with BBC Global News to bring our Peabody and Emmy-winning journalism to hundreds of millions of homes around the globe,” added Josh Tyrangiel evp of VICE News. “The BBC is the gold standard, and Vice News is truly honored to be part of its offering.”
