I'm actally surprised that no one has mentioned that the BBC is to open its own Arabic TV Channel in opposition to Al jezera (don't know if thats the right spelling) apperantly they tried it before in the 90s but it folded after about 2 years, makes you wonder what the BBC stands for as it does very little for the British. Can I please put an order in for some good news for the TV licence payer, because we never get any.
