BBCWS 75th anniversary
Of course, 75 years ago it was the Empire Service.
You might wish to look at http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice for special programing. One thing the Beeb ought to concentrate on - recently, there have been scandals involving fake call ins and contests. The World Service won the Beeb much of its good reputation during WWII by honestly reporting it when the Brits were losing the war. Later, when the tide began to turn, people in Europe and elsewhere believed the Beeb because it had been honest in the bad times. This hard won reputation should be guarded like the Crown Jewels. In a far less momentous anniversary, BBC7, a digital radio service (it streams and has audio on demand) is celebrating its fifth anniversary with special programing. (http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbc7) BBC7 carries mostly old BBC Home Service/Radio 4 shows - largely comedy and drama of various genres. |
