Future Voices on the ±«Óãtv
Plans to add diverse voices and accents on the ±«Óãtv, and subscription for global audiences.
Amidst questions about the effectiveness of the ±«Óãtv’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 ±«Óãtv World Service is high enough on the ±«Óãtv’s radar to be protected. And, others from different corners of the world offer their solution to increase the ±«Óãtv’s funds.
And can you imagine what the future of the ±«Óãtv 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 ±«Óãtv. Liliane Landor who is the controller of Languages for the ±«Óãtv World Service Group discusses how young people like them are integral to the ±«Óãtv’s future.
