Except it's funded by the government, through the World Service:
"The launch is part of the World Service's biggest expansion since the 1940s, following a government funding boost announced in 2016."

The World Service is a thing to be celebrated .
My Licence Fee - a mere £3 per week (less than the price of a pint) - goes on so much more; dramas, documentaries, current affairs programmes, Match of the Day, Spring-watch, chat-shows, Gardeners' World, Later With Jools Holland, films, etc.
Any one of these programmes is infinitely more interesting and entertaining than your pathetic BBC-bashing post.

Great news. The licence fee is even better value than I thought. The BBC, whilst not perfect, is one of the best things in this country.

I do enjoy when someone highlights one programme or aspect of the BBC they dislike. It would work out at some fraction of a penny in your licence fee when you work it out.

Pigin is quite fun - I wonder if the French African service is a different French to that spoken in France: https://www.bbc.com/afrique ?

All of this. The BBC is worth every penny and some.

Maybe I’m a bit slow, so not sure what point you’re trying to make. If it’s highlighting the value for money the BBC offers then I think I get it.

There won't be one single person in this country who doesn't pay their licence fee because a change is made to Question of Sport. Fact.
Angry Right-wingers practising 'cancel culture' - oh, the irony. They really are arrogant, pathetic, entitled, ****s.

Thanks for this! Great to see the BBC flying the flag and getting the news out in so many accessible languages.
Sad to see the BBC's Laura K being denied a supplementary question when attempting to get the truth out of Hancock this evening though...
