TO THE BBC

¬Ming Tea

6/23/10

Today after the usual activities (breakfast, reading class, etc.) I go with the program to visit BBC studios. Impressive and entertaining of course, but not what you’d expect. The place looks the same as it did in the sixties, I get to play with some interesting sound effects in a control room and I learn about how TV is publicly funded here which is very interesting distinction with privatized TV in the US and furthers my understanding of some of the regulations we talked about in the Media Law course. The tour also took place during a must win game for England and as soon as a goal was scored you could feel the place rattle with enthusiasm. When I get back I make the final booking arrangements for the bus to and hostel in Wales.
