Ex-head of BBC blasts Blair on Iraq
'We were all duped,' Greg Dyke writes in a blistering attack on the British PM

By ELIZABETH RENZETTI
 From Monday's Globe and Mail

London -- The BBC continued to make news rather than merely report it as its 
former director launched a bitter attack on Prime Minister Tony Blair and its 
new chief tried to lay out a fresh course for the world's largest public 
broadcaster.
In excerpts from his memoir published in The Observer newspaper yesterday, 
former BBC director-general Greg Dyke accused the Blair government of 
deliberately misleading the British public leading up to the war in Iraq, and 
said that staff at Downing Street had decided the public broadcaster "was the 
enemy."
Blair "was either incompetent ... or he lied" when he told the House of Commons 
about Iraq's destructive capabilities prior to the war, Dyke writes.
At the heart of the battle between Downing Street and the BBC was a report by 
Andrew Gilligan in May of 2003 that suggested the government had "sexed up" a 
dossier to bolster its claims about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction.

I read the "Radio and Internet Newsletter" ("RAIN") most days; today's edition is particularly interesting in my opinion -- see http://www.kurthanson.com/archive/news/083004/index.asp.

While this is obviously focused on USA commercial radio, there are lessons we can apply to international broadcasting.  Many folks would like to see a return to the "good old days" of the 1950s and 1960s when it comes to how international broadcasting was used, and its more important role in shaping international opinion than seems to be the case nowadays, but clearly audience tastes and consumer behavior have shifted.

I have very much been enjoying the CBC series "Next" (including, thanks to Glen Hauser, those editions broadcast during the Olympic blackout of local CBC streams).  However, I missed the very first programme, and there is no guarantee that I will be able to hear the last if, for example, I am away from home for the weekend.

I tried cruising round the CBC website in search of a link to be able to hear Programme 1 on demand, but without success.  It would be a great shame to miss either or both of the programmes I have yet to hear, so I wonder if anyone out there in Cyberspace knows of, and can point me to, a link so that I can hear Programme 1 and, if necessary, Programme 10.

Many thanks in advance for any assistance in this regard.

I don`t find any audio archive of these programs.

I do find, however, that during the break, CBC `upgraded` to Windows Media 9,
apparently abandoning Real Audio. So everyone`s links will have to be changed.
