The BBC is accessible to all, and is glad to help solve problems arising out of normal human needs and interests. The BBC is available both to home and business folk, to sportsmen, to men and women of all occupations, to students of technology, to seekers after health, to lovers of the arts, to travellers, and to listeners who wish to broaden their knowledge of the earth on which they live. The BBC provides a wide range of programmes, from grave to gay, from lively to severe. It can take you wherever you wish to go, from Scotland to the Riviera, from Lake District to the Land’s End, from the Hebrides to Egypt. It can lead you into the world of music, of drama, and of literature; it can show you life as it is lived, in many phases. And all this at a cost so small that you may have a BBC programme every evening for a year at an outlay of less than five pounds.
