They should ban Sky and all private broadcasting. Sky gouges its customers, you have only to look at how much money they make, for the same or less service. Nationalisation is always the best deal for the customer, because you remove the profit motive.

Michael Grade calls for smaller BBC
[Michael Grade has said the BBC has become "unmanageable" and called on licence fee money to be used to fund Channel 4. The former BBC chairman and chief executive of Channel 4 told MPs on Tuesday there should be a radical shake-up of both broadcasters, with a smaller BBC – including the merger of BBC2 and BBC4 – and a publicly-funded Channel 4, which he said was commercially "unsustainable". "Where the BBC fails is in its management. It has become virtually unmanageable," said Grade. "It tries to do everything itself. It is now into property, the post-production business, it's into everything and has become far too big in areas it doesn't need to be in." Such is the scale of the role of the director general, Grade said, "there was no person on earth who can do the job successfully.] ![]() http://www.theguardian.com/media/201...-bbc-channel-4 http://www.independent.co.uk/news/me...e-9122370.html Last edited by arista; 12-02-2014 at 03:15 PM. |

the whole thing needs to be ripped up root and branch....theres no opportunity, its a total closed shop, the output for the money invested is pitiful? how many world class shows in the past decade compared to hbo or many other tv networks? the news is one of the worst on tv, the endless cover ups, the infinite waste, the shocking pay offs, the total disregard for tax payers money....comedy alone has become a little elitist qungo for public school kids. i barely find any of the posh people funny. michael mcintyre? really

On the Daily Politics today
both Conservative and LibDem MP's both said the BBC must take away its Poll Tax. Only the Labour Woman wanted it to stay as it is. The Funding Model of the BBC has to change it's Tax Fee they demand from us Public must stay Frozen until they change it. 2020 is the date they want this Terrible Value Tax Stopped Also many viewers should be able pay to BBC for Viewing in Europe they want to watch the BBC and will pay the BBC , the stupid BBC is missing that right now. The LibDem MP said it wrong people are paying the tax while some people at home watch BBC Free online thats no way to carry on. Last edited by arista; 10-03-2014 at 01:12 PM. |
