How Does BBC News Start When Talking About Financial Side?

From Financial Services Forum:

How does BBC news start when talking about financial side? Hi I'm doing a speech which needs to be like the BBC news. I know I have to introduce myself, but how do I introduce the finance bit like its boring to say 'now looking at the finance side, this business is....'

Answer: depends what your opening story is. If it's about share prices, start with something like "now, for a look at what's been happening on the markets today.." If it's about a specific industry or company, start with something like "now, reports from the finance sector today show that..." If you're wanting a more generic introduction, start with something like "now for news from the business world..." You could always have a look at the BBC site. They have an audio and video section which I've linked to below. You can pick out the business stories to get a feel for what they sound like. Good luck!

Why Is The BBC Available In Languages Such As Kirghiz, But Not In European Languages Such As German?

From Other - United Kingdom Forum:

Why is the BBC available in languages such as Kirghiz, but not in European languages such as German? The BBC says that it is available in 27 languages. Some of these are obscure languages. However the BBC is not available in many European languages. Does the BBC assume that everyone in Europe understands English? Even French is targeted towards African nations and not France (or Canada). Does the BBC assume that, besides the UK, no one in Europe accesses the BBC?

Answer: The BBC is funded by UK taxpayers Commonwealth countries also use it, its not a commercial channel why should it be available to people who don't pay.

How Can BBC License Monopoly And Fee Be Ended?

From Other - Television Forum:

How can BBC License monopoly and fee be ended? The BBC demands an annual fee of £140 with open menaces if you don't pay it. Their monopoly was set at a time when there was no competition. I for one resent both their arrogance and their left wing PC bias. I want the TV license scrapped and the BBC to compete on the open market like all the rest of the TV company's like Sky,etc. How can this be achieved?

Answer: I have been thinking the same. We keep hearing of free trade and the legality or rather support theta contravenes the law. Here we have a case where a company is protected by law in their demands for payment - however much the which to call it a licence. The fee goes to the BBC - I do not think their is any doubt about that. So if you have a TV and only use it for videos or DVDs you still have to a pay a licence. Many folks would have a TV and just watch their Sky etc that has nowt to do with the BBC and yet, they have paid sky and yet must still pay. How in this day and age a company's revenue can be protected by law I do not know. Even people living in a care home have to by a license - but this is at a reduced rate. Now of course and for many years the BBC has been a fully trading company - selling programmes to other broadcasters and producing books videos and DVDs - all for retail sale. Maybe we should start a - No Licence FEE for the BBC - campaign. A mass not paying would then surely get the legal folks out. Just because it is Law does not make it just - nor unchallengeable. I have only just thought about the BIG brother is watching aspect. If you buy a TV in a retail store like Comet etc they are obliged by law to get your name and address and pass this to the TV License people.

From Media & Journalism Forum:

Are the BBC economical with the truth when it comes to identifying ethnicity and ideology of murderers? And peadofiles? Why are they always so quick to vilify white and indigenous British peeps OD similar crimes? Are the BBC in effect complicit in the rape and murder of countless people due to their aversion to telling the truth? Is the TV licence nothing more than `JIZYA` to the people who control this one honourable British institution that has become the mouthpiece for a different order coming into force across the UK?

What Is The Reason That Alex Ferguson Does Not Give Interviews To The Bbc?

From Other - Soccer Forum:

What is the reason that Alex Ferguson does not give interviews to the BBC? Have the BBC upset him in some way, I seem to recall something, but not sure what.

Answer: In Nov. of 2000, Sir Alex Ferguson, banned the BBC from post-match interviews after two broadcasters made critical remarks about his team. The breakdown has become increasingly noticeable and provoked complaints from viewers. The Match of the Day producer, Niall Sloane, is to meet United's new chief executive, Peter Kenyon, on Thursday to try to settle the dispute. Sir Alex imposed the ban because of remarks made by the broadcaster Pat Murphy in the Match of the Day magazine and passages in the Radio 5 Live commentator Alan Green's autobiography, which were critical of the team.
