The people of the Caribbean region are deeply saddened by news that the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) Caribbean Service will end its broadcasts in March. BBC reports that due to a reduction in its Grant-in-Aid funding from the UK's Foreign & Commonwealth Office (FCO) a decision was taken by its World Service to cut its Caribbean service. As a result, the last editions of the BBC Caribbean Report and BBC Caribbean Magazine will broadcast on March 25. Similar closures are planned for its Albanian, Macedonian, Serbian, and Portuguese for Africa broadcasts.
