The BBC World Service on radios claims a regular worldwide audience of some 25 million for their English language programmes. It is funded directly by the British Foreign Office, despite any Government attempt to control the content of programmes are vigorously fought off. It is broadcast around the world and nobody who has access to a radio with short wave need be without it. The archetype listener today is under 30, male, likely to be the second or even third language. Few women tune in, which is why there is no women’s programme including in its 24-hour services. The biggest and the most important of the news programme is Newshour, a 60-minute survey of world news which goes out at night at 10 p.m. British time. This slot cannot please everyone but be the optimum time to catch any listeners having breakfast in Hongkong or settling down during the night in West African. It can recommend to anyone who wants to understand the world, not just Britain. At any rate, which is its aim and certainly by comparison, most British domestic news programmes seem trivial and parochial.
