hopeful that applying pressure will make that much difference, but it's worth a
try.

Arabic and Persian TV are deemed especially vulnerable, as are
"minority languages".
No reasons for requiring cuts of these levels were listed; this would
be for the three years beginning April 2011.
One speculates the timing for the announcement is to enable World
Service listeners to apply what pressure they can...
