Handy post Ace. I'm printing this out so I don't need to have the

Wanna bet that by B06 or A07 that BBCWS for the Americas will be
eliminated entirely? I think that the suits running the Beeb should be
put out to pasture on the funny farm. Same thing for the commercial
radio moguls running IBB. The thing is, the US govt could revive VOA if
it really wanted to. Is ANYBODY from the UK govt in control at the BBC?
The BBC was trashing the invasion of Iraq as British troops were
fighting on the ground. The BBC recently has made some moves in domestic
broadcasting that have angered a lot of British, yet nobody is taking
responsibility, no heads are rolling. Is the BBC a govt agency or isn't
it? Is anybody manning the store?

The World Service for the Americas is live and well. Just not on HF.

No it isn't - it's entirely separate from the Govt. It is paid for by our TV
licence - about 200 dollars per year, whether you watch any BBC at all.

The World Service is different from the rest of the BBC. It is not
paid for by the licence fee. It is an arm of the Foreign Service, I
think.

''How is BBC World Service funded?

BBC World Service is funded by a Parliamentary grant-in-aid,
administered by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office of the British
government. 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.
The relationship between the BBCWS and the FCO is governed by two
documents, the Broadcasting Agreement and the Financial Memorandum


Foreign and Commonwealth Office/BBC World Service - Broadcasting
Agreement


Foreign and Commonwealth Office/BBC - Financial Memorandum

The BBC's UK radio and TV services are financed by the television
Licence Fee (all owners of television sets in the UK are required to
buy an annual licence). 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.''

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.

In the USA, the People are the Government (they just forget that
salient point most of the time).

Ah. You see, the VOA was (was, since it in effect doesn't exist anymore)
run by an agency of the US govt, USAID I think. In most countries, the
national broadcaster is a govt agency. Since the BBC is not controlled
by the UK govt, the BBC can make all sorts of screwy decisions and
nobody can tell them no. (In contrast, the screwy decisions made at the
VOA were done by presidential appointees. The President and Congress
could have decided to hire new people to run the place.) So the BBC
slashes the WS, they slash domestic programming, they make a lot of
people upset, and nobody can rein them in. At least the big corporate
broadcasters in the US (NBC, CBS, ABC, Fox, Time Warner (who runs the WB
network), Paramount Pictures (UPN)) have majority stockholders and
boards of directors who can fire the CEO if he ****s up.
