		BBC Television Centre (sometimes abbreviated TVC or TC) in London is home to the vast majority of BBC television output and, since 1998, almost all of the corporation's national TV and radio news output by BBC News.
		Such as the nearby BBC White City complex which comprises White City One, a 25,000 sq metre office building, as well as the BBC's new Broadcast and Media Centres.
		The decision to move radio news to this building was attributed to Director General John Birt, a move that was resisted by the managing director of BBC Radio – who resigned after failing to dissuade the governors.

	White City, London - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		White City is a place in the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham.
		Home to the BBC Television Centre and BBC White City, it was level arable farmfields until it became the site of the Franco-British Exhibition and the Olympic Games in 1908 and the Japan-British Exhibition in 1910.
		It was known at that time as the White City due to the white marble cladding used on the exhibition pavillions, and hence gave its name to this part of Shepherd's Bush.

		In January, criticisms made of the BBC in a report by an official commission set up by the U.K. government ("the Hutton enquiry") in regard to its Iraq-war coverage, were so scathing that both the chairman of the board of governors of the BBC and its director-general had little choice but to resign.
		Instead the BBC reminded us that Reagan was "a B movie actor," and stated that as president his "foreign policy was criticised for being in disarray." Accompanying photos were not of Reagan meeting Gorbachev, but of Oliver North, and of the invasion of Grenada ("a clumsy sham," according to the BBC text).
		BBC Online for example, last Saturday, gave the impression that al-Sudais was nothing but a benign, kindly cleric promoting (to quote the BBC) "community cohesion" between Muslims and their neighbors.

		The BBC has hit back by stating that its content is considerably different from that already there, because it is not aimed at teachers but at their students.
		The BBC is piloting the project with news and natural history instead, although these may be of huge help to teachers anyway as they will eventually include Winston Churchill's speeches and David Attenborough's nature documentaries.

		While she was aware "we are dancing on the head of a pin", the BBC was very worried about offending its World Service audience, she said.
		BBC output was not to describe the killers of more than 50 in London as "terrorists" although - nonsensically - they could refer to the bombings as "terror attacks".
		Surely the BBC's job is to tell it like it is, as understood by the highest standards of British common-sense and decency, whether or not it offends those who are so backward or primitive that they regard the random murder of civilians (in London or anywhere else) as anything less than terrorism.
