Have your say, now absent from BBC World News

This programme is currently not shown on BBC World News since the channel's name was changed in April 2008. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.24.57.247 (talk) 20:13, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Biassed propanda vehicle giving people the impression that they were being allowed to voice an opinion, but in fact unless you reflected the BBC's idea of the "correct acceptable opinion" of the day, your comments were never published. Just another sheeple control tool that most people never catch on to. Cretins. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.225.149.5 (talk) 15:40, 4 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Now and since around 2008 the WHYS hasn't been a regular schedule TV program on BBC World - a fact absolutely tectonic and essential for any reader and user of WHYS as well as any one trying to study the activity and tendencies of the BBC corporation. Not the BBC says that it is "on an adhoc basis" (see https://worldhaveyoursay.wordpress.com/whys-faqs/) which means it is almost never on BBC World TV and even at rare times when it is, its interviewed audience nowadays is selected by the BBC according to some "closed" and non-transparent considerations of the BBC itself. The regular broadcasting of WHYS on TV on BBC World was done for years in the past and this format had a special influence and strength because of the scale of the international TV audience of the BBCWorld TV). The selection of the interviewed people was done according to the natural rankings defined by the votes on the blog by the world public itself. This program in the shape and form we knew it, with its influence and clear transparent democratic format of its platform for population's opinions, totally ceased to exist in around 2008! None of the above continues to exist today in terms of WHYS of the scale and regularity and frequency on TV on the BBCWorld. The Wikipedia article completely fails to clarify and describe this change and the situation, which is of essence, and the omission of which predictably may create a distorted understanding of the history of dynamics, philosophy and influence (and ethics) of the Have Your Say initiative.
