Future Voices on the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½
Plans to add diverse voices and accents on the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½, and subscription for global audiences.
Amidst questions about the effectiveness of the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½â€™s licence fee, the National Audit Office in the UK recently reviewed the Corporation’s savings. It concluded that whilst current savings targets have been achieved, future cuts may have an effect on the quality of programmes. Some listeners wonder whether the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ World Service is high enough on the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½â€™s radar to be protected. And, others from different corners of the world offer their solution to increase the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½â€™s funds.
And can you imagine what the future of the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ will sound like? To give you a taste, Rajan speaks to two new bilingual trainee journalists who are being trained up to bring a new diverse dimension to the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½. Liliane Landor who is the controller of Languages for the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ World Service Group discusses how young people like them are integral to the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½â€™s future.
