To the Editor: Alan Riding accurately portrayed the problems the new BBC faces, with one important exception. He wrote that the BBC World Service radio has long been considered the most reliable international source of news.

It can now be heard in its entirety only via computer or satellite radio. The BBC is now, perhaps, the most-of-the-World-Service, and hardly the pre-emininent source it once was.
