Interesting quote:

"The MPs also warned that the World Service's English output must
continue to include "a significant proportion of programmes which
promote British culture and Britain's creativity to overseas
audiences".

""It is this mixture of programming which is the World Service's
attraction and a characteristic of its success," they said.

""We recommend that under no circumstances should the World Service's
English language programming be allowed to evolve into just a news and
information service.""

I think most here share that sentiment...
