Agreed Mike.
Also of note is the phrase "Our English language radio programming on the BBC World Service has also performed well with audiences holding firm at about 44 million overall." I would think that if Shortwave would still be part of their worldwide instead of localized delivery platform, growth might have been achieved with this medium as well.

This conveniently ignores the fact that BBC Arabic television has shown rapid growth and has a much higher audience than radio.
