They do not.

Several L. A. area NPR stations run the World Service overnight, without
any mandates, from Roy Fisk or anyone else.

Dave - D'Oh! Da World Service from the BBC
is only One Voice and is Not the Many Voices
of the World. The BBC-WS is a good start;
but it is just a start.

Start 1. BBC = England/UK
+ 2. RNW & DW & RFI & REE = EuroLand
+ 3. CBC & RMI North America
+ 4. CRI & NHK = Asia
+ 5. VOR = Russian Federation
+ 6. AIR = India
+ 7. Channel Africa = Africa
+ 8. Radiobrás & RHC = South America Carribean
+ 9. KOL + Radio Cairo = Middle East

again shortwave radio it's about hearing the
un-cut and un-edited message from the source
and hearing 'many' sources around the world ~ RHF
