It is a remarkable record, stretching back over 70 years -- yet the BBC's future is now in doubt. The Corporation will survive as a publicly-funded broadcasting organization, at least for the time being, but its role, its size and its programmes are now the subject of a nation-wide debate in Britain. The debate was launched by the Government, which invited anyone with an opinion of the BBC -- including ordinary listeners and viewers -- to say what was good or bad about the Corporation, and even whether they thought it was worth keeping. The reason for its inquiry is that the BBC's royal charter runs out in 1996 and it must decide whether to keep the organization as it is, or to make changes.
BBC 已經(jīng)連續(xù)運(yùn)作了七十多年，可謂歷程輝煌：然而，現(xiàn)在的 BBC 卻前途未卜。目前該公司還可以作為政府基金資助的公辦廣播機(jī)構(gòu)生存下去，但是它的作用、規(guī)模以及它的節(jié)目已成為現(xiàn)階段整個(gè)英國爭論的話題。 這場爭論是由英國政府發(fā)起的。政府邀請任何對 BBC 有看法的人（包括普通聽眾和觀眾），對公司的好壞情況發(fā)表意見，他們甚至可以發(fā)表有關(guān)“公司是否值得辦下去”這樣的意見。政府像這樣征求意見的原因是 BBC 持有的皇家契約將于1996年到期，政府必須決定是讓公司維持原狀，還是實(shí)行改革。
