1) . In the UK BBC radio and TV is paid for from the listeners’ and viewers’ licence fees. However, the World Service, which is broadcast to almost every country in the world, is funded by a government department called the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. Despite this, the World Service has editorial independence which means the government can’t control what is broadcast.
2) . The programmes are in more than forty languages including Arabic, Greek, Mandarin Chinese, Polish, Romanian and Spanish and they are listened to by about 150 million people. The only time that the service has stopped was in 1985 when BBC workers went on strike. The strike was because the British government had wanted to ban a documentary which included an interview with a member of Sinn Fein (the political party which wants to unite Ireland).
3) , the BBC is trusted to be honest and truthful.
Some governments try to stop their people listening by either blocking the radio signals or the BBC website.
4) . It is also used to send emergency messages to British people overseas. For example, in 1970 a message told British listeners in Jordan to evacuate the country immediately. More recently, when the tsunami hit Asia on 26th December 2004, programmes were extended to bring the latest news to the people in the disaster areas. Within hours of the tragedy online sites were giving information to the victims and their families and the message boards were looked at by more than two million people.
