		Broadcasts are made half an hour daily on weekdays but more than half the country's schools have no mains power nor money for batteries to power portable radios.
		Broadcasters believed that this made their record a factor in licence renewal although the FCC disputed that.
		Evans, whose assets are already estimated at around £30 million, said that the money didn't really mean anything to him, adding that much of it was still in the company anyway.

	Mark Radcliffe at AllExperts
		Radcliffe was born in Bolton, UK in 1958, and took an interest in music from a young age, playing the drums in a number of unsuccessful bands (including, briefly, Skrewdriver - before their infamous incarnation as a racist band) before his transition to radio.
		He is, in some respects, a very traditional British DJ, with a wide knowledge of rock and pop, and his Northern English style sense of humour and quick wit bear comparison to both John Peel and Peter Kay.
		Following Chris Evans' departure in early 1997 they were moved to a brief and unsuccessful stint on the breakfast show.

		Chris spoke about what he'd been up to during his break, which included things like meeting and talking to people who didn't know him.
		Chris didn't actually say he wished they weren't getting divorced in so many words, but the way he spoke about her and the things he said about her current boyfriend made it very obvious.

		Despite the show being broadcast before the watershed in many countries, there was no attempt at censorship.
		Criticism was also drawn from viewers of MTV (and possibly other networks), in which the broadcaster cut to commercials while bands were still performing, specifically Pink Floyd and The Who.
		In fact, very few of Live 8's songs were played in full by MTV and almost none of them were broadcast live, leading some to contend that MTV may have covered the event but they did not broadcast it.

		Is there a better way to help the tsunami survivors overcome their trauma than by organising a cricket match between a host of celebrities from England and the youth of fishing hamlets for whom cricket is not just a game but religion and cricketers are not players but demigods?
		Understanding this rather well, the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) hosted a cricket match at Samiyarpettai fishing village, about 20 km from Chennai, on Sunday for the UK-based Charity Comic Relief, between fisher folk drawn from half-a-dozen tsunami-hit coastal hamlets in Cuddalore district and British players comprising celebrities from various fields.
		The British team included one of the fine wicketkeepers of our times, Jack Russel and retired left arm spinner and reality television character Phil Tufnell, member of the current England women's cricket team Rosalie Birch, county cricketer Mark Chapman, broadcaster Chris Evans, BBC's anchor Jake Humphrey and popular comedian Patrick Kielty.

	Does the BBC provide quality and value for money? - FT.com Forums
		The BBC needs to be broken up with technical services (such as broadcasting) separated from entertainment, commercial services from public service, television from radio.
		The existence of a public broadcaster with no dependence on advertisers puts British television far ahead of anything it could reasonably be compared to.
		I remember in the early '80s "Death of a Princess" was not shown on the main channels for fear of offending their oil advertisers.
