Αυτό το παράθεμα με βοηθάει να βάλω μια τάξη στο μυαλό μου: δηλ. αν διαβάζω σωστά, αυτό που ήταν γνωστό ως «Εξωτερικές Υπηρεσίες του BBC» αποτελούνταν από τη «BBC Overseas Service» και τη «BBC European Service»
British transnational broadcasting had begun in December 1932 with the inauguration of the
BBC Empire Service, a shortwave service aimed principally at English speakers in the British Empire. With the introduction of foreign-language services on the eve of the Second World War, the BBC Empire Service was renamed into
BBC Overseas Service in November 1939. To this was added a separate
BBC European Service in 1941—a consequence of the massive expansion of foreign-language broadcasting during the war. These broadcasting services were administratively separate from the BBC Home Service (for British listeners); they were not financed from the domestic licence fee but from a government grant-in-aid coming from the Foreign Office budget, and they were collectively known as the
BBC External Services.
As mentioned, in May 1965 the BBC External Services were renamed into BBC World Service.
