The end of ful F1, on BBC.
The important role for the World Service is to provide 'real news' to people in countries with poor or propadanda-filled news and media, and where MW radio is more accessible than the internet.
I don't know how relevant the Now Show would be abroad. Ex pats can get it online as you say. As for the Archers, we could use it to drive out hostile regimes, by broadcasting at them 24/7...!
I can't get Sky (no cable round here and trees mean no dish unless I can get a 200' high pole) not that I would get it out of principle.
I work for an F1 team and now won't be able to watch my boys doing their stuff 50% of the time unless I can find a pub that has Sky, these do however tend to be the sort of pubs that I usually avoid at all costs.
Time to find out if any relatives have Sky I guess.

Along with freezing of the licence fee is there any wonder F1 gets dumped at the first opportunity???

You are assuming that because I live in Woking I work in Woking.
I do.

Contract still had 2 years to run which is very annoying.
Guess it fuels the conspiracy theorist,
'the conspiracy theorist' is usually a pejorative term for those questioning the Establishment's theories.
You probably didn't mean it in those terms, but I find it sad that those questioning the Establishment theories are denigrated while those believing the Establishment's theories are deemed sane.
(well as the phone hacking scandal has revealed there's not much of a conspiracy),
On the contrary the phone hacking scandal proved the conspiracy is HUGE and entwined the politicians, police and media.
As I've always said about the Murdoch/Brooks hacking 'scandal':
Corrupt media being investigated by corrupt police and commented on by corrupt politicians.
And lets not be naive to think this was confined to News international.

Does it have to be the BBC - I would have thought that Radio Australia and Radio India to mention just two would also have a commentry available on the internet (I frequently hear them on SW- see 1st para, so maybe you need a SW set and 1/2 mile of wire for an aerial)
