Understanding a fall in ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ World Service's audience

What does the publication of the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½â€™s annual report mean for you the listener? Plus listeners say their farewells to a stalwart of World Service news, Razia Iqbal.

Last week saw the publication of the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½â€™s annual report, which includes the World Service. The World Service Audience is down 12% but we'll be looking into its finer details and asking what it means for you the listener. Do overall audience figures affect the kind of programmes being made? The boss of ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ World Service English, Jon Zilkha, tells us if that will affect the kind of programmes you hear.

Plus, listeners say their farewells to a stalwart of World Service news, Razia Iqbal, as she leaves the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ after 30 years.
