I enjoy reading James Harding in The Times, however, on this occasion he doesn't seem to draw a distinction between the three types of output worldwide.
Is it the ´óÏó´«Ã½ supported by the license fee, ´óÏó´«Ã½ World Service supported by grant-in-aid from the FCO or ´óÏó´«Ã½ World, ´óÏó´«Ã½ America etc which are funded by advertising and operated by ´óÏó´«Ã½ Worldwide?
I happen to enjoy ´óÏó´«Ã½ World, but know that ´óÏó´«Ã½ America comes in for a lot of criticism. It sure is a global brand, but doesn't seem to enjoy the same content.
It is about time all swearing was stopped on all TV programs it is not necessary and indicates a lack of vocabulary
