THe BBC World Service is fantastic— we get 6 hours of it through the day/night here in MN via MN Public Radio. The BBC’s programming is broad and deep. So much more than the World Service— but when I hear WS programming, I’m amazed at what they cover, and *how*, especially in some of the interviews, which are much more aggressive and penetrating than US interviewers’ manage.
Sports. Arts. General entertainment. One of the great weather services, and one of the oldest. Anyone wanting to dive into what they do with that measly 400 million GBP might start with the Wikipedia page. Scroll down to the long blue list; and click on a few, esp BBC Television, which has the famous/notorious BBC channels 1, 2, 3, & 4, each with a different sort of programming.
In the UK, if you own a TV, you have to pay a “TV license” for each TV which funds the BBC. It’s not run on donations. If it’s a color TV, you pay more. I loathed giving money to them (they were extremely biased there, so many things just never got reported).
