Is anyone talking about changing the funding model of the BBC though? It doesn't seem cut out for the online world.
- throwaway91111 10y agoMy british vpn gives me free BBC.... I'd say it's pretty sweet!
- Neliquat 10y agoYou well illustrated his point.
- monk_e_boy 10y agoThey do bring it up every so often, but any politician that is interviewed about it is generally interviewed on the BBC. Also, the public love the BBC and don't mind paying. The BBC is really good online for us in the UK. I know a few people who work there and they are using cutting edge tech on a shoe string budget. They really do a brilliant job. Personally I don't mind paying for the Beeb and some other people in the world get it for free.
- SmellyGeekBoy 10y agoWow, I thought I was the only one! I don't get the anti-license fee brigade. If you don't want to pay just don't watch the BBC TV channels. The BBC won't even stop you reading their websites and listening to their radio stations commercial-free if you don't pay. Seems like a good deal to me.
- flukus 10y agoThat is the problem, as more people shift to online independent media could dissapear.
- nmeofthestate 10y ago> If you don't want to pay just don't watch the BBC TV channels. You need a license to watch other broadcast channels like ITV C4 (not on catchup though) etc. I don't have one because I don't like the BBC's politics editorial positions.
