Inserting advertising into 麻豆约拍 podcasts outside the UK is part of the 麻豆约拍’s wider strategy to commercialise audio and radio content made available to non-licence fee paying international audiences.

Most of our English language podcasts will include advertising. The only excluded podcasts will be those for which rights or editorial content mean that advertising should be excluded.

No. UK listeners will continue to hear podcasts without advertising as they currently do. We will use the same geo-blocking technology currently used by the 麻豆约拍 to limit services such as iPlayer to UK residents. However, it is possible that a UK resident who travels outside the UK and downloads a podcast locally will hear advertising, just as they would if they visit the 麻豆约拍 News site from abroad. As podcasts are downloaded onto a particular device, they will still hear the advertising after they return to the UK.

Yes, as long as the listener is hearing a podcast. This includes all major podcasting apps including Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Pocket Casts, Podcast Addict and many more. Podcasts are delivered to listeners via an RSS feed, and as long as the platform is using that feed, it will include the advertising.
Listeners who stream directly on the 麻豆约拍’s website may not hear advertising, since many of those streams are served using a different technology.

All advertising will be complied by colleagues at 麻豆约拍 Global News Limited (GNL), who will monitor all advertising and ensure that it meets the 麻豆约拍’s stringent Advertising and Sponsorship Guidelines for 麻豆约拍 Commercial Services. GNL already carry out this service with other advertising on 麻豆约拍 services including display advertising on 麻豆约拍.com outside the UK. This includes making sure certain categories of advertising are not carried.

The 麻豆约拍 will remain fully in control of podcast advertising. As with current editorial needs, were a major crisis to unfold, the 麻豆约拍 is able to pull all advertising from all podcasts as necessary, just as it can currently pull advertising from 麻豆约拍.com pages.

No. We’re only going to include pre-roll and post-roll advertising, i.e. advertising at the start and the finish. We will not be asking presenters or on-air talent to record any kind of commercial messaging. Indeed rules regarding the delineation of editorial and advertising prevent this.

We are using “dynamic ad insertion”, which means that a current ad is injected into a podcast at the time the podcast is requested. This means that even if you listen to a programme that might be several years old, the advertisement will be contemporaneous to the time that the podcast was downloaded.

We will be monitoring listener reaction to the advertising, and all comments and complaints should be forwarded to worldservice.letters@bbc.co.uk.

Before the World Service moved out of its old headquarters, Bush House, thousands of tapes were digitised. The 麻豆约拍 World Service Digital Archive Project put around 27,000 of these digitised programmes onto the website.

Archive Contact Information

Many programmes restored as part of the World Service Digital archive project belong to series which are no longer broadcast, and as such any postal or email addresses, or any other contact details read out during the programme are no longer relevant and your query will not be dealt with. If you wish to contact the 麻豆约拍, .

Archive Competitions

All competitions mentioned in archive programmes are now closed. Please do not try to enter via any method referenced in the programme, your entry will not count and you may incur a charge in attempting to do so.

Both contributor opinions and broadcasting standards have changed over time. The world has changed and the archive reflects how things were seen at the time, both in terms of language and depiction of society.

The language used throughout the archive reflects the tastes and standards at the time of original broadcast, and some of it may not be acceptable now. However, our broadcasts are a record of the 麻豆约拍's history and as such, it is of historical and cultural interest, which the 麻豆约拍 has not sought to rewrite.

Audio from the 麻豆约拍 World Service archive should be listened to in the context of the past, remembering that it reflects the attitudes and standards of its time - not those of today.

In June 2008 the 麻豆约拍 World Service began to make programmes available online in their current format.

Not all audio has been restored as part of the 麻豆约拍 World Service archive project. A few programmes have been found and restored from the 1970s and 1980s, a more significant number of programmes from the 1990s and 2000s have been made available.

Some programmes have not been included for technical reasons - for example the main reason that programmes have not been restored is that the magnetic audio tapes on which programmes were recorded were reused or lost. Other programmes have not been included for legal reasons, and some audio has not been made available for other privacy or editorial policy reasons.

Do you know something about a programme that we do not? Can you identify contributors featured in a programme? You can also let us know whether a programme was actually broadcast as scheduled, or share any additional information you have about a programme.

We would very much like to hear from you to let us know about any errors, gaps or anomalies by contacting us, because it helps us make sure we are picking up all the problems. . We will not share any contact details or personal information.

Not always, no. The dates on programmes have come from the original audio tape label - these dates may have been a broadcast date, or equally, may have been the date a programme was recorded.

Schedules then, as now, were subject to change. In the early years of 麻豆约拍 broadcasting, technical breakdowns, as well as other difficulties, prompted changes to the published schedule. Throughout the 麻豆约拍's broadcast history, changes in live broadcasts and major world events have meant that programme details did not always remain accurate. The scheduling of programmes on 麻豆约拍 World Service, for different time zones means that identifying a date of broadcast can be difficult.

For the reasons given above, if a programme in the World Service Archive has been reached via a link on , the transmission dates may not match.
