Or is "Look East" really available in Swahili? their news into 30 different languages? Because they have something called a "World Service"? so who's paying for that then? Is this a cost the viewers are funding or are the foreign office funding it? This has been covered extensively in the news. Did you miss all the coverage? No I was aware that the FO had lumbered the Beeb with this costs but I also seem to recall that at the most recent agreement the FO took it back tim |

If they really were spending £15m on that, they were getting very poor value for money. you seem to have missed "as part of a plan to help save £15m" Sorry, spin is it? 100k will be saved by ditching this site and the remaining 14.9m by banning vintage wine from the subsidised executive canteen. presumably the rest come from closing other web services like the proposal to close BBC Food - oh dear! More realistically what benefit does the BBC gain from translating their news into 30 different languages? Two of those other languages are British ones. Robin |

Welsh I can understand spending money on, but spending money on a radio & TV station for scots gaelic which is spoken by barely a few thousand people in the western isles is an extravagance too far IMO. They'd be far better off putting more money into scottish regional programming. -- Spud |
