Watchdog

Just had the misfortune to turn on Watchdog whilst I was having my
tea.

How does the BBC have the audacity to look down its nose at and preach
to other organisations when its own executives are invariably
technical incompetent (with the exception of recent recruits Anthony
Rose and the new MIT-educated Controller of Audio & Music and Mobile -
wow, what a change from Ashley Highfield's recruits where having
technical qualifications must literally have been frowned upon - none
of them had any anyway!!), and the BBC has consistently lied to the
public regarding digital radio for the last 7 years (9 years if you go
back to the BBC public consultation for the new digital-only stations
in 2000), and it has recently taken very long-term strategic decisions
regarding digital radio that were taken to benefit the BBC even though
they knew they were against the interests of the general public, which
pays for the BBC?

Discuss.

"It is the sheer volume of online audio content available via
internet-connected devices which terrifies the UK radio industry. I
believe that broadband-delivered radio will explode in the years to
come, offering very local, unregulated content, as well as opening a
window to the radio stations of the world." - from the Myers Report
