BBC Radio 6, 7 and Asian Network to close.

Radio 7 to become Radio4Extra.



The BBC wasted Millions on building errors
that was Public money wasted.


And The BBC Mags could be sold off.

[Crimson Dynamo]

the BBC is both brilliant, value for money and hideously bloated and wasteful. Having worked for the BBC in White City (badly named area of London) i can tell you that it was one big gravy train for many. This does not detract from the excellence of other staff and output.

what it needs is a DG that accepts this and acts rather than the one we have who spends his life with his head up his ass shouting.

You're very strange Mr..

[hennessy]

I'm glad it's going to change.
It's not the fact that I resented paying for my t.v. license it's the fact I had to!
For a few quid extra you can get a cheap sky package.
When I was young and living on my own with a crappie job and low wages, knowing I had to throw on an extra hundred and something onto my tv was a liberty.
I can live with adverts and if I had the choice I would've have scrapped my BBC channels, all I want is MotD.
Feck Fecking Dr. fecking Who.
And why is it that other free channels have better films on?

Fk Sky! I would pay more for my TV Licence, great value for money and the programs we get..

Channels like ITV, ch5 and 4 need ad revenue, without it then they would slowly sing with cheap tv.. If the BBC had to fund itself from ad revenue then the income from these ads would drop.. Sky is far overpriced.

Sky is Not Overpriced

You can have Sky Free of Charge
Sky Freesat
you only pay the once to get it set up.


you Andyman are living in the past
at times.

You want the BBC to be funded by ads.. Freesat would become Paysat.. You really need to look into it more because that thought in your head does not mean fact.

This thread is about the Future of The BBC
nothing to do with Sky.

The BBC has to make Big Cut Backs
just like everyone else.

[hennessy]

I don't have to pay for sky but I do for the bbc.
I'd like to see how it'll do with subscription but I'd fear they're too gutless.
Sky have all the best american tv shows, Lost, House, Chuck, Simpsons, etc
All bbc have is costume dramas and eastenders, whoop de fecking doo.

I admit good docu's but very few and vast inbetween.
Why should I have to pay £142 for MotD?
ps I can watch any team live on my laptop for free

[andyman]

For all the channels you get, radio, fantastic programs and free bbc iplayer, it is worth the small fee which can be paid over 12 months.. Plus British tv need need the BBC to be funded by the public, ITV would have to cut costs on a very large scale if arista's pro Murdock Sky empire dreams came true..

Yes and I am sure there are many hundreds of thousands of pensioners agree with you, not having access to all those extra TV channels and Radio stations.

They also love watching BBC I-player on computers they havent got.

So only pensioners watch the BBC?

[hennessy]

I'm just going to leave one remark before I go and do something else..
I download all my films, I watch all my sports live on my laptop for free and I haven't watched BBC in over a year. No BS.
I watch Football First round my friends on a saturday night with a couple of beers.
Why should I have to pay £142 a year for something I don't use?

Not everybody is like that, many enjoy the BBC and what it gives.. Unlike the brain dead ITV programs.

You could throw out your tv and any tv connection, don't know if that would work.. Lol but £2.73 per week is worth it..

ITV shows loads of Films in HD.

Ch4 , Ch5 also are good.


And Ch4HD is good as they also show many Films in HD.

Who pays for that?

ITV1HD is Free on FreesatHD

ITV4HD is Free on Sky and Virgin,
and will soon be on FreesatHD
and soon on FreeviewHD.


And soon we get Ch5HD



So No Charge at all for HD

[Tom]

Sky = greedy but its worth it for Sky Sports 1 I guess

I think Sky1 should go free to air, its not as though anyone signs up to Sky just so they can watch Sky1 ...

The only good thing about the BBC is Radio 1.

For you yes, please state that.

Thank you.

[Tom]

I don't watch much BBC but paying the license is no skin off my nose anyway, I like BBC3, The Apprentice, Radio 1 and the website, thats pretty much my entire BBC usage. The website is really good

[andyman]

OnDigital was good, same as Freeview.. Freeview would be better with the option to top up channels with Sky1, Sky Movies, Sky Sports, MTV.. Just like the OnDigital days. Sky Tv without a contract and a BT line.
