A paragraph from the excellent James Cridland's blogpost on the insularity of the UK radio business.
Why is it that BBC Radio 4 carries no programming, at all, from NPR, CBC or the Australian ABC?

Why does the BBC assume that we’re more interested in repeats of The Navy Lark on BBC7 (or BBC Radio 4Xtra as it’ll be) instead of great quality programming from the rest of the world? Why aren’t we rebroadcasting Spark from CBC Radio 1 over here, when it’s one of the best-produced tech radio shows anywhere in the world ?
