Tory anger over BBC heckler show

Mr Howard was heckled at a meeting near Bolton
The Conservatives have demanded a BBC apology over a programme which
it says encouraged heckling at a meeting where Michael Howard was
speaking.
The Sunday Telegraph says the Tories accused the BBC of "serious
misconduct" after producers equipped hecklers with radio microphones.

But the corporation said it was making a legitimate programme on the
history and art of political heckling.

However, it said it would be investigating the complaint thoroughly.

Slogans

In a letter to Helen Boaden, the director of BBC News, Guy Black, the
head of Conservative communications said the event was "pre-meditated"
and intended to embarrass Mr Howard and disrupt his speech.

He said hecklers at the meeting in Horwich, near Bolton, had shouted
out slogans such as "Michael Howard is a liar" and "You can only trust
Tony Blair".

Mr Black said staff were in breach of BBC producer guidelines.

But the corporation said the producers were making a programme for BBC
Three called The History of Heckling.

In a statement it said the producers had observed hecklers at the
meetings of other parties and that the hecklers were not under the
direction of the BBC.

"The incident at the Michael Howard meeting only plays a small part in
the overall programme," the statement said.

"However, we will be investigating the complaint very thoroughly and
will be replying in due course."

LONDON (AFP) - A red-faced BBC apologised for requesting an interview
with Bob Marley, the Jamaican reggae legend who died 24 years ago.

BBC Three, one of the public broadcaster's digital TV channels, sent
an e-mail to the Bob Marley Foundation saying it wanted to do a
documentary about his hit song "No Woman No Cry".


It said the project would involve Marley -- who died of cancer in May
1981 at the age of 36 -- "spending one or two days with us", and that
"it would only work with some participation from Bob Marley himself".


In a statement, the BBC said: "We are obviously very embarrassed that
we didn't realise that the letter to the Marley Foundation did not
acknowledge that Mr Marley is no longer with us."


Marley would have been 60 last February 6, a date that was celebrated
with great fanfare by his legion of fans worldwide.


A BBC press officer, contacted by AFP in London on Friday, confirmed
that the gaffe was not an April Fool's joke.

For years the BBC was an icon of the truth, in the last decade they
have been on the slippery slope.
How sad.

There was one questionable story a few years ago where hank-panky was
suspected and the place was turned inside out.

The World Service is definitiely biased toward the global consensus
(well duh!) but still meticulously factual.

Not exactly. This row has little to do with politics per-se!

Recently the BBC announced staff reductions of close to 28%
including cutbacks of some rather popular TV and Radio
programmes in the UK. (..to put it in a way that you Americans
would understand, it would be as if several USA based TV
networks announced that they were going to broadcast
only 50% of all Baseball and Football games and replace what was
lost with Infomercials)

This is why so many are upset over BBC Management.

They have sacrificed programme content for greater
financial profits at the expense of their viewers and listeners.

I would gather if the same were done in the USA as has
been done in the UK, that a general insurrection and
revolution would no doubt ensue shortly thereafter..

Monday Night Football has been moved from ABC, which is a broadcast
network that can be received in most areas with an antenna, to ESPN,
which is on cable TV only, read expen$ive subscription fees. So far no
insurrections have been noted. I know that the same megacorporation owns
both ABC and ESPN, and that over the air TV has not been profitable in a
LONG TIME, but still there are some football fans that will not be able
to see the game anymore. But in a country where fans pay outrageous fees
to have 10 sports channels, those few fans don't amount to much.

Yes, BBC Management seems to have no clue about anything, they've been
drastically cutting back the World Service part of their operation to
the point where it can only be heard in the mornings for a few hours and
an hour of news in the evenings in the Americas, and just South America
at that. The point is apparently to cut off shortwave-once the WS's
bread and butter-completely and rely on a network of FM stations.
Unfortunately these FM stations decide when and how much of the BBCWS to
broadcast. If you go to bbcworldservice.com and go to the dialog box
where you can enter your city for programming info, you'll see this.
Enter San Francisco, for example, the nearest Big City to yours truly.
You'll see that the WS gets six hours in the wee hours of the morning
(midnight-6am) and an hour of news at 2pm. A sad substitute for
shortwave, but in North America this is what we're supposed to take.
Many BBC "affiliates" don't even broadcast The World Today or Newshour
but a sanitized news program called "World Affairs" or something
similar.

What's holding you Brits back from getting rid of your government over
this? At least vote Blair out of office, he's quite unpopular for
dragging the UK into Iraq from what I understand. And then there's your
royal family. Name ONE THING it's good for, besides tabloid fodder. Join
the world, become a republic already!
