BBC UK to add Commercials to their Podcasts

[arista]

[The BBC's plans to run adverts
on its podcasts would have a
"disastrous impact" on the UK's media market,
businesses have warned.

The broadcaster shared plans to run
advertising on its podcasts and on-demand
audio that are played on third-party
platforms like Spotify in March.

A group of 20 media
businesses - including Sky - have now signed
an open letter addressed to
Culture Secretary Lucy Frazer,
saying the move could set
"a dangerous precedent".

In the letter, they say:
"The BBC has vast funds to create content
for its audiences and is not driven by
commercial success,
but instead by a mandate to act in the
public interest, to inform,
educate and entertain.]

Remember, they have no right to enter your property, so NEVER let them in. They have to PROVE you're watching live TV, otherwise they've not a leg to stand on. Tell them nothing, ignore them.

Oh i have a very vocal anti "scam license tax" stance. I encourage everyone to not pay. If we all stopped, no if 50% of people stopped paying, they'd have no choice but to change. They have no problem showing ads everywhere else in the world. They also own, or partly own about 70% of freeview channels, and there's about 20 mins of ads per hour on some of those channels.

I've had all the letters, threatening and all that sh!te, they go straight in the bin. No interest.
