A bit surprising, considering that many would think the BBC to be a good match for failed Soviet-era Russian sensibilities......could this be a signal of Russia's wholesale rejection of such corrupt perspectives and an embrace of Capitalism and modernity? Time will tell.

Maybe the BBC was too left wing for the former Commies.

Richard Sambrook, director of BBC Global News, said the Corporation was “extremely disappointed” that listeners would not be able to hear its “impartial and independent news and information programming”.

Now that's the funniest thing I've read all day!

The BBC is just as bad as PBS.
I would ban both of them as long as their receiving taxpayer money.
