	BBC World Service - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Unlike the BBC's main radio and television services, which are primarily funded by a licence fee, the World Service is funded by the British Government through the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.
		This is the strategy that the BBC adopted successfully, to become a widely respected broadcaster in the Third World and during the Cold War amongst the former countries of the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe.
		The interval signal of the BBC World Service in English is the Bow Bells, a recording made in 1926 (though only in use from the early 1940s), though this isn't used on all frequencies - some are silent until the start of broadcasts.

		The interval signal of the BBC World Service in English is the sound of the Bow Bells[?] of London.
		In many countries in the world the world service is relied on as the only source of reliable news not manipulated by the local government.

		First, a sense of scale: The World Service of the BBC is the planet's radio station, broadcasting around the clock in virtually every major language, from Arabic to Urdu, to some 150 million people — far more than listen to the Voice of America and CNN Radio combined.
		While most BBC services are funded from the licensing fees charged to U.K. television and radio owners, the World Service is different: Its annual budget of nearly $370 million comes from a direct government grant funneled through the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, to whom it is indirectly responsible.
		The World Service began April 6 by broadcasting to the citizens of Baghdad and the rest of the world the report that an Iraqi mullah had called for the faithful in Baghdad to engage in "holy war" against the Americans and the British who would soon be in their midst.

		The BBC first broadcast programs for listeners overseas in December 1932, when the Empire Service, as it was then called, began transmitting from its recently acquired station in Daventry.
		At the outbreak of war, the BBC was broadcasting in 7 languages other than English; by the end of hostilities, the BBC had 45 separate language services and a General Overseas Service (formerly the Empire Service) broadcasting in English for 24 hours a day.
		The satellite television services were relaunched in 1995 within BBC Worldwide, the commercial arm of the BBC, but World Service has retained a presence in television output through the BBC World Service Television News which is broadcast on the 24-hour news and information channel BBC WORLD.

	Save the BBC World Service in North America and the Pacific!
		The BBC World Service continues to press its political masters for massive increases in funding to boost service in under-covered areas of the world.
		Proving that their cluelessness with regard to their American audience is not limited to World Service radio, BBC America television has sparked off a protest by moving the venerable Eastenders program from the Sunday airing it's had since BBC America started to a time on Friday when most of its audience is still at work.
		The BBC appears to be more interested in counting listeners than listenership; someone who stumbles across The World on their local public radio outlet counts just as much as someone who deliberately seeks out the BBC and listens for hours to their news, arts, and cultural programs.
