If you care about what the BBCWS is up to these days, you might want to listen to the current edition of "Over To You", available on-demand through Sunday, November 4th, 1041 UT.
Nigel Chapman, head of the World Service, is interviewed about the new TV services and the recent additional funding coming their way, and addresses questions and concerns about the role of WS radio given this new push into TV services. There's also an interview with Lyse Doucet regarding how she prepares for interviews of world leaders, such as her recent interview with the Syrian president, and also an interview with the producer for Alan Johnston's recent special "From Our Own Correspondent" where Johnston recounts his Gaza kidnapping. Lyse has the reputation for securing tough interviews...those who were around in 2001 may remember Lyse interviewing Ralph Brandi when the "Coalition to Save the BBC World Service" was trying to dissuade the WS from ending shortwave services targeting North America.
