BBC INTERNET SERVICE 21st JULY 2008.

BBC INTERNET SERVICE WOW!

PROOF THAT THE BBC DOES LISTEN to it's viewers has been uncovered by the fascinating speech by Sir Michael Lyons, Chairman of the BBC Trust, to EU conference in Strasbourg.

In his speach Sir Michael delivers what many have wanted to hear for oh! so long, that being U.K. localised news and events which for many years has been hit and miss trying to capture what may be good and must be a nightmare for producers and camera crews alike.
The idea that 60 areas of the U.K. are going to get possible coverage is nothing short of brilliance. Many have speculated over the years that local interest is not real news but those who have been kicking long enough know that all news is interesting and to add another tier on what we already have has got to be value for money and good for the country as a whole.
My only fear is they will not go far enough, as my personal choice would be to view that up and coming young footballer, singer, dancer or entertainer from every corner of the country.
The idea of a BBC Internet Service called "Local Video", proposed by the "Executive", has the ring of positive thinking and is excellent for us the viewer, we cannot complain getting yet another bonus in the shape of another visual medium with a new proposed broadband service with coverage of local news and events.
Is it news to you ? then you read it here first!
