If I watch just Ch4 , ITV and Sky only

Fact.



Tom you do not know what you are on about.
Don't watch TV

Or just chance it, they'll never catch up with you anyway, the detector vans aren't real you know

or get rid of your tv and watch everything online, you don't need a license fee for that



I watch TV
ITV , Ch4 and Sky Movies (no ads in them)
I should have the right to not pay for the BBC.


They are catching people if your on their Data
they check to see if you have a TV.


Those watching BBC Live Online
will soon have to get the BBC Tax.
That is new .

What stinks about the BBC
is right now Peak time 5:25PM saturday
another Repeat 'hole in the wall'.


They said they would stop repeats on BBC1
in peak times,
but every other day they break their word.

I did that coz wanna be smug..


The BBC are great value for money, plus because they don't have to chase ad revenue (make programs just for ratings!) they can make programs for all tastes, funny drama to a roman history program.. Plus the BBC support new talent, always have done.

Arista i know you don't want to pay your licence but if we had the option not to pay plenty of people would not pay the licence fee, then the BBC would become ad funded or kept afloat with donations, none would do british tv any good..
All the channels and radio stations we get for that small fee is great value for money..

arista, do you realise the impact the license fee has on TV?

With no license fee, both BBC1 and ITV1 would be competing for advertisers

ITV are already struggling as it is, as are Channel 4 and five

Channel 4 and five would get less advertisers because they'd all be going to BBC1 and ITV1

Then the biggest digital channels would get all the revenue from advertisers for smaller channels

Smaller channels would go bust, some big digital channels would close and the main five would struggle

We'd end up with more repeats and more cheap TV like Cops With Cameras.

Would you basically sacrifice all of TV just to stop paying license fee?

The Truth is
The BBC Tax is out dated in this Multi Channel age.

I should be permitted to "not" have to pay for the BBC.


"The BBC Company
makes billions on DVD sales and selling shows abroad,
they can stand up on their own two feet."

Everyone can be Valid
but in the UK many want No BBC tax.


They can stand on there own two feet.

It is a Out Dated Tax.


What Tom wrote is his view
not mine.
Take away the Tax
the BBC goes on,
it would not be the end of the Bloated BBC.

So how does the BBC continue without the licence fee?.. Hmm.

Arista you have not thought this through, it seems you like the idea of ending the licence fee but your idea is only valid in your head, the romance of it has dented any real logic to back up your views.

BBCAmerica is a example.


SkyMovies is a great Example
no ads in the Film.
So for example Marmite sponsers BBC Eastenders,
product placement permitted as well.
Only Stupid New Labour block product placement.





Loads of Logic that works

.....Product placement... So nearly every bbc program will become full of ads, plus the money will not be enough! Again you have not thought this through, your day dreaming too much in your anti-bbc fantasy.

Glad to say that it will stay a fantasy..

You still don't really answer it or have a response. I want to see what your thoughts are head on, not going around it all

Its all good saying you'd do this and do that but would it work in reality?

The BBC is making plans for the Day the BBC tax goes.
It is well out dated now.
