根据下面资料,回答题 The Change of BBC
With the 31 of BBC World Service Television, millions of viewers in Asia and America cannow watch the Corporation' s news coverage, as well as listen to it. And of course in Britain listenersand viewers can tune into two BBC television channels,five BBC national radio services and dozensof local radio station. They are 32 sports, comedy, drama, music, new and current affairs, education, religion, parliamentary coverage, children' s programmes and films for an annual licence fee of£83 per household.
It is a remarkable record, 33 back over 70 years--yet the BBC' s future is now in 34 . The Corporation will survive as a publicly-funded broadcasting organization, at least for the time being,but its role,its size and its programmes are now the subject of a nation-wide debate in Britain.
The debate was 35 by the Government,which invited anyone with an opinion of the BBC--including 36 listeners and viewers--to say what was good or bad about the Corporation, and evenwhether they thought it was worth keeping. The reason for its inquiry is that the BBCs royal charterruns out in 1996 and it must decide whether to keep the organization as it is,or to make changes.
Defenders of the Corporation--of whom there are many--are fond of quoting the American 37 . "If it ain't broke, don' t fix it. " The BBC "ain't broke" ,they say, by which they mean itis not broken (as distinct from the word "broke", meaning having no money), so why 38 tochange it?
Yet the BBC will have to 39 , because the broadcasting world around it is changing. Thecommercial TV channels--ITV and Channel 4--were required by the Thatcher Government' s Broad-casting Act to become more commercial, competing with each other for advertisers, and 40 costsand jobs. But it is the arrival of new satellite channels--funded partly by advertising and partly byviewers' subscriptions--which will bring about the biggest changes in the long term.
