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.]

the Current Michael Grade Post.

I remember you saying before that he had passed away. Seemed like a really good poster, and reading his exchange with you highlights this.

What would you like to happen with the BBC Arista?

Please give me your proper opinion.

Stop taking money from the public,
they have enough to stand on.
So you would have Eastenders sponsored by
Morrisons , for example

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.

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

Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...#ixzz3f0OdTVe4


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
