[Swprograms] Programmes I Like (# 5)

[Peter Bowen <peter.bowen@xxxxxxxxx>]

"World Business Report"--BBC World Service:

   It's not just "business as usual".

   The best in international broadcasting, "World Business Report" is
an 8-13 minute feature on financial topics around the globe.

   It starts with the usual billboard, after which the listener is
presented with several feature items. Some of these are interviews
with people in the economic and business fields, or BBC
correspondents. Others are packaged reports from those same
correspondents.

   Topics chosen are those from the worlds of business , finance, and
economics. But because these areas affect all aspects of life, the
features have a more generalist appeal. For example, stories covered
may also discuss the social, cultural, political, and legal sides of
the issue. Thus, there is much more than stories of specific
companies, and market numbers. In addition,  some features deal with
the fiscal and monetary policies of various countries.

   Although reports from various equity, currency, and commodity
markets are given, as is the norm in programmes of this genre, there
is little news from the fixed income markets.

   Lastly, slots are handed over to regular commentators to provide
their views on specific topics (e.g. the workplace).
   
    "World Business Report" is truly global in scope, with the
listener being given at least a taste of a broad range of the world's
issues.
