MessageIan, thanks for your reply.  I feel another sense of betrayal by our 
premier 'for us' organisation here.

I'll do as you suggest and make my points directly.  Only hope some others will 
do likewise.  I'm sure our number one public service broadcaster can do 
better..  It certainly (must do  better).

  Which is precisely why I suggested that people might want to write to Mark 
Byford, Ray.  I do what I can from the inside, believe me, but it's only by a 
strong lobby from outside that things are likely to be changed.  Otherwise, the 
only people the beeb ends up talking to are the RNIB who were, I believe, 
consulted on these guidelines in the first place.

    OK folks, I know dead horses could well be being flogged here, but how are 
these ' guidelines' changed and negotiated?  Shouldn't we, or someone be in 
there asking for or demanding changes?  I think an alt transmission placed very 
near the original could be one work around.  Also, how about all the other 
stuff that Beeb2 smuggly transmit with blatant disregard of our access needs?  
Programmes like  Correspondent which I gave up on years ago.  Don't know if it 
is still transmitted.

    Also, how about beefing up the audio sub-channel?  Why the tardy tortoise 
like progress on this one?  Why have we nothing like parity with the deaf on 
this issue?

    These are all points that should be brought up and remodies should be 
forthcoming.

      Its because of the clause below that the BBC pulled their artistic card.
      However there may be exceptional occasions where it is necessary 
editorially for the voice to remain unchanged.  They may arise where, for 
example, it is
      important to understand the emotion of a speaker giving personal testimony
