The BBC Future
 
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...-tax-bill.html


Good News the CEO of the BBC
says the Out dated direct BBC tax will go.

The Bloated BBC
needs to change and take away the Direct Tax
as it is bad value.



Life In The City.

The BBC is value for money, worth every penny!

Arista, please give me the good and bad reasons for this?

You stand by the Bloated BBC.
The Good news is that Direct BBC Tax will go
it is out dated and no good in these times
That it what matters
not your Pathetic stand for the BBC.

andyman 04-07-2009 03:12 PM

Right ok.. Arista do you even know anything?

This is a Better Future
It comes out of Council Tax
means every home will pay
So you still get your Bloated Money for
your Bland BBC.
Top Slicing will benefit other channels doing Public Broadcasting.

andyman 04-07-2009 03:31 PM

The BBC is value for money.. Look at all the tv and radio channels you get, plus fantastic web and mobile phone support with bbc iplayer, the iplayer is now for mobile aswell.

Saying that the bbc is bloated is invalid, you need to argue the cause with more depth..

arista 04-07-2009 03:55 PM

You do not Tell me What I need to Argue.
Fact.

andyman 04-07-2009 04:15 PM

Another invalid post by Arista..:nono:

You dislike the BBC because.. "they are bloated!"

You're knowlege is nonsensical.

arista 04-07-2009 04:20 PM

Thats your view
and you are not valid on many of your posts.
It is the End of the BBC Direct Tax.
Time For Change.

This is a Great Interview with James Murdoch
runs for 6mins
with Graphs like the one at the very end
shows us why the BBC is so Bloated.

I don't think it's wise to listen to a Murdoch on the standard of media dominance and representation - it'd be like listening to criticism from Josef Fritzl on the Social Services.

I do not agree.
And he is No problem to listen to.

Tom 30-08-2009 06:14 PM

If it was scr*pped altogether no BBC license fee would mean ITV have to compete even more for ad revenue and they are already struggling as it is. Then that will have a knock on effect on Channel 4 and 5, and there would be new big players for funding for big digital channels meaning reduced profits and so on. The same applies to radio.

If we're paying through Council Tax rather than the TV License itself, we're still paying for the BBC but just a different method. Its like online shopping and paying once through credit card then the next time using Paypal. Its exactly the same thing but just coated as something else.


arista 30-08-2009 06:41 PM

Sure Tom
but it is going to change.

andyman 30-08-2009 10:44 PM

You do hate the truth Arista..

Arista is just some 80s fax machine..

The BBC is not going to change, Arista needs to change or he will end up in some Afgan fax machine repair shop.

As someone from outside the UK, can I just say that the BBC is worth every penny. Brilliant drama's, comedies that take a chance, even the news is realiable! Comeone with out the BBC you would have american type advertising long ago. Ad's every 8 minutes in the States, I rather pull my own teeth!

That is one thing the UK should be very proud of their television and their terrestra channels! Long live the Beeb!

Without it I would have been stuck watching RTE, and believe me RTE in the 1980 and 1990's was all country music and farming news!

HBO has no ads within shows.

The BBC will live long but it must change
It is Over Bloated

I'm sorry, but I can't take someone seriously that thinks a Murdochs opinions on the BBC being a monopoly as fact! The Murdoch corporations are taking over the media and now they want to interfer in the BBC. I think they shoud be run out of europe myself, no one corporation should have that much control over what we watch, read and browse! I think yu should be less worried about the BBC being Bloated and more worried about the reasons the Murdoch's are poking their nose in.

arista 31-08-2009 12:03 PM

He can not change the BBC
but his Views are very important.
Many TV executives agreed with what he stated about
the Bloated BBC.





"James Murdoch was right
We need a civilised discussion, not an Edinburgh shouting match, in order to start finding media solutions"

Good for the BBC.. worth every penny!

I would even pay more for it..

Sky is the bloated devil..

But Arista you really need to learn about what Tom said, it will help you understand why we are right and why you are so wrong.

Thank you please.

If its being paid for via council tax, then no it isn't going to change.

If it is scrapped altogether, then the TV industry will collapse.

No the BBC will have to allow Top Slicing
they are to Greedy with Public Money
That is the Mega change that will help
News & Arts on Commercial stations.


That is what matters to Our Future.

andyman 31-08-2009 03:04 PM

Arista has no idea..

Tom 31-08-2009 03:08 PM

If its top sliced the BBC will just demand more and use a load of spin how it cant be supported, and then we're back at square one

They will have no choice.

Tom 31-08-2009 03:12 PM

But they'll get it

andyman 31-08-2009 03:19 PM

In Arista's world the BBC would have product placement on every show..

In Arista's world tv ad revenue would drop and would result in more ads in the tv shows on top of product placement.

In Arista's world 1,000s would lose their jobs.

In Arista's world we would have fk all to watch..

In Arista's world Sky TV would become bloated and greedy with many poor familes priced out from watching sky, and Sky would out bid any network for tv rights..

In Arista's world the machines will rise and hunt down the human race..

arista 31-08-2009 07:13 PM

This thread is about the BBC's Future.
Not some silly post by Andyman.


Well done to RAF Tom.

Tom4784 31-08-2009 08:00 PM

I don't mind the BBC the money they get from Tax allows them more room for more interesting and better content. If it lost the tax money, it'd become another ITV1 and NOBODY wants another ITV.

People would coplain about programs like Doctor Who being cancelled or downgraded due to the fact that BBC couldn't cover the costs without the tax money.

andyman 31-08-2009 08:13 PM

Arista you're the one that makes silly posts..

You know fk all about how the business works and the knock on effect it would have on British TV..

You post sh*t like "BBC must change" but you have nothing to back it up that would benefit the industry.


Tom 31-08-2009 08:16 PM

and whats even funnier is that it works out at about £3 a week, hardly bank breaking

On the BBC main news today
they said the BBC is to get smaller
which is common sense.

Meanwhile BBC Unions are getting ready to Strike.

I want a Refund if any strikes happen.

No he does not want it to be like Fox News.
He was talking about the size of the BBC
and now the BBC has said they are going to make it smaller

BBC storm as two of BNP's most notorious activists
are invited on Radio 1 to insult Ashley Cole.


http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2009/...81_468x335.jpg
Asking the questions: Debbie Randle in the BBC studios

http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2009/...17_233x600.jpg
Race row: The BNP pair told Radio 1 that Ashley Cole,
pictured with wife Cheryl, is not British

http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2009/...94_468x265.jpg
Party officials Joey Barber and Mark Collett
pose as 'BNP supporters' for Radio 1 Newsbeat
but they have senior roles in the organisation

"Radio 1's Newsbeat programme introduced the interviewees
as 'two young guys who are members of the BNP' - but a Mail on Sunday investigation has discovered that they were, in fact, key members of the far-Right party's leadership"

The BBC is Funded by our money
they need to know what they are talking about.

And if a BNP member says something incorrect
they must be challenged.
Whatever part of the BBC is doing it.
Just because this is Radoi 1 Newsbeart
changes nothing.


The BBC is doing nothing about this Break of Code.
