Why is BBC World Service reducing its short wave provision?
Short wave listening around the world is declining.
The downward trend is accelerating: the global short wave audience for
BBC World Service has dropped from 122 million in 1996 to 97 million
in 2003.
Like other international broadcasters, BBC World Service has been
adjusting its short wave provisions in line with global demand
changes.
Alternative ways to listen
At the same time BBC World Service has been investing in new delivery
methods, all with the improved audibility now preferred by audiences,
such as FM, cable, satellite and online.
BBC World Service is committed to making the best use of the money it
receives from the government and has had considerable success in
attracting audiences to these new methods of delivery; more than 50
million are using these and the numbers are growing fast.
Separately, online usage has grown from three million page impressions
every month in late 1998 to almost 300 million by 2004, which is
equivalent to 18 million unique users.
Alongside in-depth news and information, programmes are available
streamed both live and on demand at the convenience of the listener.
There are now more ways to listen to BBC World Service broadcasts than
