Future Voices on the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ

Plans to add diverse voices and accents on the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ, and subscription for global audiences.

Amidst questions about the effectiveness of the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ’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 Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ World Service is high enough on the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ’s radar to be protected. And, others from different corners of the world offer their solution to increase the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ’s funds.

And can you imagine what the future of the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ 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 Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ. Liliane Landor who is the controller of Languages for the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ World Service Group discusses how young people like them are integral to the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ’s future.
