Anyone know when this is going to air?  I have directv and have searched my guide trying different searches but to no availe.

I'd like to hear it myself (never had the chance to hear the final version).

I think the BBC iplayer allows you to listen to the last 7 days of BBC TV and radio. I'll see if I can find it there and post a mention here.

Ciao,
Jay

P.S. Patric, you're certainly entitled to your opinion, (just be careful of libeling, as you already did).

Jay,

A search of Patric's posts will reveal a skepticism and outright disdain at times for law enforcement and law enforcers.  Not sure the reason. 

Hey Conan, et al.,

Thanks for your reply. 

And yeah, I completely understand how some people hate cops (I hate 'em too).

Please just know, that like most Tulsa Police officers, I try to do the best I can everyday.

Hopefully, I've also done a decent job with this BBC programme.
Or at the least, I've offered a laugh or two, even at my own expense.

Tulsa is a great place with even greater people...

You seem to home in on any newswire stories that involve bad cop behavior, well that, acorn lighting and LED billboards as well  ;) .  I'm not saying it's good or bad, just making the comment that you seem to have a skepticism for authority which seems to be more keen than most of us when it comes to culling "bad cop" stories.  I'm glad you have shined the light on the abuses you have, especially on the OHP.  That sounds like an out of control little fiefdom. 

So just to be clear, this is not a TV program right? This is just audio like a podcast and that's what TUalum wasn't able to see it on his TV guide?

My guess would be the bright lights.  Ever get pulled over at night?  Those things have crazy glare!

I wish more police officers would come in here. Welcome jay.

That's right. It's a radio broadcast -- BBC World Service, which broadcasts via shortwave in the Eastern Hemisphere and is rebroadcast over many public radio stations in the US, as well as being streamed over the Internet. (He may have been thinking of BBC America, which is a cable/satellite TV channel.)

In Tulsa, you can hear BBC World Service overnight on KWGS 89.5. It's available 24/7 on KWTU 88.7-HD3, if you happen to have an HD radio.

From my blog entry on the program (http://www.batesline.com/archives/2009/12/tulsa-police-featureed-in-bbc-ra.html):

The program will air live in the time slot for "The Wednesday Documentary" on Wednesday, December 30, 2009, at 4:05 am, 9:05 am, 2:05 pm, and 7:05 pm, Central Standard Time, and it should be available online for about a week thereafter via the BBC iPlayer at this link (http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/radio/bbc_world_service/2009-12-30).

Thanks Michael for clearing it up for me.  Makes sense as to why I couldn't find it now.  Welcome Officer Jay.  We could use some opinions and thoughts from actual police officers over certain things that are happening in our city instead of BS theories, and people "on the inside".

Here is the link to the podcast.  You can download it as an .mp3 as well.
