Sounds like you have become Canada

Harper did the same thing once he took gov't here for the tories

CBC has been unwatchable since imo

BBC plans to send 200 staff for 'scaled back' coverage of Lib Dem conference - that's 25 times the number of MPs

10 staff is more than enough for the LibDem Conference


What the Fecking Hell is 200 going there?




Also today in the Sunday Times
the BBC should now pay for the over 75 Free License Fee


And a Charge for the BBC iplayer is due

No one is going to pay for iPlayer :joker:. Netflix it is not.

Oversea folks who use iplayer will pay

iPlayer should not be charged as it's part of our licence fee

If you are in USA or Europe
for example to use BBC iplayer
you will pay

iplayer is not available to anyone outside the uk for copyright reasons, so that idea doesn't fly either

Correct


But International iplayer
is on its way

The BBC has a massive Vault they can sell Worldwide


Its in todays papers

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-14322604


Initially, global iPlayer will be available in 11 European countries: Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, The Republic of Ireland, The Netherlands, Portugal, Spain and Switzerland.

It will cost 6.99 euro per month (£6.14), with the option of an annual subscription priced at 49.99 euro (£44).


Fact

that will screw up the income they receive from oversees networks though, so who knows if its a good idea or not

I do think that the way they organise some things are pretty dumb, like the libdem conference as you mentioned having 200 staff sent there, but overall the BBC is a good idea because i'd much rather that than a news station taking it's place that only serves the needs of big corporations. That is when we truly lose democracy, they're not going to give us non-partisan coverage.

Yas Mokka getting that British tv coverage in Canada :worship:

Tony Hall the CEO of the BBC

We should have a choice if we want the BBC tbh.I'd get rid of it from my home happily.I pay enough for TV.

No

Not yet

On Ch5HD
this morning Former Ch5 owner Richard Desmond
says the BBC should Not charge everyone
£150.00 a year

Posters like me?....

Yes any that think they can avoid the BBC Tax

Can you not use my name in your examples please?
I have in the past avoided it, I no longer do.

OK
sorry Kizzy

the bbc is a joke now. a VERY expensive wasteful joke with ever declining productions and a phenomenal liberal bias in their news. the bt monopoly are taking over sports, the documentaries are better on most other networks, the class situation comedies stopped being made decaads ago, there are no opportunities for writers either and the middle management is almost as overblown and wasteful as the nhs. it really is crap.

'I'm Not Anti-BBC', Culture Secretary Insists

[On the funding of the BBC,
he told MPs a subscription
model for paying for the BBC
"could well be an option in
the longer term" but the
technology was not yet
widely available in homes.
As a result, the review would consider
three options for reformed
funding methods, including
in a reformed licence fee,
a household levy, or a hybrid model.
The Secretary of State also said
a report had found the
decriminalisation of licence
fee evasion would not be
appropriate under the current system,
but it would be considered as part
of the charter review.]
