Hi, Carolyn! The TV Channel is BBT, and it stands for Balkan Bulgarian Television. :)
About the elections in November. I think a lot of people in Bulgaria and in Europe as well pay attention to the US elections because the outcome will affect many of us. The US Foreign policy affects people throughout the world sometimes more than the domestic policy of the local government. Moreover, the whole campaign is like a reality show :) The European politicians are so boring.
