how many BBC lies in the 'long run'?

the BBC's audience is primarily 3rd world.

They claim their audience is the entire world-- what
they call "opinion formers" and "decision makers"
all over the world. For example:

"What is important in the States is what type of listener
we're getting," says Mr. Byford.

ahem. let me point out a simple fact:

the BBC does not even broadcast to north america. kinda forgot that in
your pompous bloviating, didnt you?



BBC's Indian SW audience has plummetted.
They're moving rapidly to TV, as will the rest of the
3rd world in a few more years.

as i said, you dont listen to shortwave or the BBC much...

You said you didn't agree that BBC has become

the world.

so you start by agreeing with me...

Just wondering what exactly it takes to get to Planet Bob.

what is 'less significant' in a world where the BBC is the leader? and
how many lies in 'less significant'. you seem reluctant to admit what
the BBC itself admitted...it lied.

Mark Byford's statement actually came AFTER the
BBC had decided to stop direct SW to USA. He made
lots of comments on the fact that they believed FM

if you'll permit to say:

Bull****.

the BBC quit broadcasting to NA several years ago.

He made

rebroadcast of BBC was reaching the right target,

which had zip to do with the thread at all. the BBC does not use FM on
shortwave. those of us who DO shortwave kinda know that...
