With the start of BBC World Service Television, millions of viewers in Asia and America can now watch the Corporation’s news coverage, as well as listen to it.
And of course in Britain listeners and viewers can tune in to two BBC television channels, five BBC national radio services and dozens of local radio stations. They are brought sport, comedy, drama, music, news and current affairs, education, religion, parliamentary coverage, children’s programs and films for an annual licence fee of 83 pounds per household.
It is a remarkable record, stretching back over 70 years—yet the BBC’s future is now in doubt. The Corporation will survive as a publicly-funded broadcasting organization, at least for the time being, but its role, its size and its programs are now the subject of a nation-wide debate in Britain.
The debate was launched by the Government, which invited anyone with an opinion of the BBC—including ordinary listeners and viewers—to say what was good or bad about the Corporation, and even whether they thought it was worth keeping. The reason for its inquiry is that the BBC’s royal charter runs 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 slogan "If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. " The BBC "ain’t broke", they say, by which they mean it is not broken(as distinct from the word "broke", meaning having no money), so why bother to change it?
Yet the BBC will have to change, because the broadcasting world around it is changing. The commercial TV channels—TV and Channel 4—were required by the Thatcher Government’s Broadcasting Act to become more commercial, competing with each other for advertisers, and cutting costs and jobs. But it is the arrival of new satellite channels—funded partly by advertising and partly by viewers’ subscriptions—which will bring about the biggest changes in the long term.
In the passage, which of the following about the BBC is not mentioned as the key issue?
选项
A、Extension of its TV service to Far East.
B、Programmes as the subject of a nation-wide debate.
C、Potentials for further international co-operations.
D、Its existence as a broadcasting organization.
答案
C
解析
本题中,C项在文中没有提到。从文章第3段的第2句话可知,该公司将作为政府基金资助的广播机构而幸存,至少目前是这样,但是它的作用、规模以及它的节目成为现阶段整个英国争论的话题。据此可知,BBC的生存方式、作用、规模以及它的节目都是目前的关键问题。这说明A、B和D三项之意都是文中所说的关键问题。因此正确答案为C。
