Re: [IRCA] The ABC Website Archives Really Do Work...

["R. Colin Newell" <coffeecanuck@xxxxxxxxx>]

Gary raises an interesting point that perhaps carves the way towards broadcasting in the future. 

Budget cuts for governments, broadcasters and bureaucratic bean counters are like the taste of blood to a dog pack. Once you taste the sweetness of the "trimming" it becomes addictive and the race for the bottom is underway. 

One day I envision all broadcasting and media will be pay per view or listen..

Using Radio Canada International as an example - it underwent decades of minute cuts until the "once and for all, we're done".
Once a wonderful diplomatic service and voice of Good will worldwide, we went from the top to nothing at all over time. 

When repressive regimes like the Voice of Iran expand external services and stations like CRI Beijing are buying air time on AM stations in America, ya gotta wonder. 

Sorry about the rant -
