[QUOTE="rolfw, post: 21607, member: 175057"] There is no doubt that the whole move is based on economics, but at a time when some other countries are looking to expand their international cultural influence, France for example, it seems strange to me that the UK should choose to diminish theirs. It is perfectly understandable that the BBC TV channels should be restricted due to copyright conflicts, but the radio channels, in particular radio four and five with mainly home grown programming have no such problems. The space that radio stations require on a transponder is relatively small and I'm sure that some sort of reciprocal arrangement could be reached with other providers to offset the cost. The stupid thing is that given the chance, many, if not most expatriate Brits would be happy to pay for the privilege of watching and listening to their homeland channels [/QUOTE]
