I was unaware until seeing a story on RT tonight that the US' BBG may be on life support. Tucked into a defense spending bill is a provision that the Broadcasting Board of Governors would be transformed into a CEO position reporting to the President.
http://www.broadcastingcable.com/news/washington/defense-bill-would-abolish-bbg-governing-board/161487 I've long thought the BBG lost its way with multiple "voices" and administrative units. From my external view of government efficiency ☺ I always thought one voice (the VOA) could better serve the world in a coordinated, cohesive fashion. If this change comes to pass, perhaps sanity will prevail.
