BBC Annual Report published today

The BBC Governors have published the annual report on
the Corporation for 2004-2005. The report can be
viewed on the Web and/or downloaded in its entirety
(1.4 Mb PDF, also available as two separate parts).

The section devoted to BBC World Service contains the
following interesting items:

"We remain committed to the idea of launching a BBC
television news service in Arabic. Although no new
funds were made available in the spending review, it
remains an important strategic aim and discussions
continue with the Foreign and Commonwealth Office."

"By the end of the year [2004], BBC World Service
output was on FM in 144 capital cities, up from 139 in
2003."

"BBC World Service is estimated to reach 149 million
listeners each week (up from 146 million in 2004).This
is more than 50% higher than the audience to any other
international broadcaster."

"The USA now has 5 million weekly listeners ? its
highest level ever, up from 4.7 million last year. One
in five opinion formers in New York and Washington
listen each week while the figure in Boston is one in
four."
