The BBC also earns extra income through the sale of programmes overseas and of books, videos, tapes and other products linked to BBC programmes. BBC World Service does not receive any funding from the UK Licence Fee.'' www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice Hey, I was right. Yes, the WS, unlike the rest of the BBC (you didn't make it clear you were referring solely to the WS as opposed to the BBC in general) is funded from the FCO out of our taxes, so we still pay for it. It's our money, not the Govt's money. Running Dog asked if the BBC is a Govt agency, which it definitely is not. Your own post says: "The FCO, in close consultation with World Service, is involved in the process of deciding which languages are broadcast , but editorial control of the programmes rests *entirely* with BBC." -- Simon Mason http://www.simonmason.karoo.net |
