I used to be quite positive about the BBC, but since my daughter went to Uni, she has been hounded by the TV licensing company.
Now I am extremely negative about the BBC and I won't shed a tear when it loses its funding.
- DaiPlusPlus 3y agoAre you concerned what the media landscape could turn into without the BBC, though?
- hunta2097 3y agoYes, if they offer a "news only subscription" at a reasonable price I would buy it. I literally watch 0 British TV apart from the news. I wish they would block iPlayer if you don't have a TV licence. I personally haven't had a TV antenna or dish attached to my TV for years. Most of my entertainment is YouTube!
- DaiPlusPlus 3y agoWell, there's Reuters for that.
- IanCal 3y ago> I wish they would block iPlayer if you don't have a TV licence. It's not totally blocked but you do need a license for iPlayer legally. I wish they'd let me tie my license to my account so it stops making me answer whether I've got one.
- crtasm 3y agoClicking yes == not blocked at all.
- gizajob 3y agoThe BBC turns out a lot of sh*te. Even its ostensibly high-brow documentaries are overemotional and condescending compared to what they used to be, and the corporation's impartiality is very very tenuous. License fee needs to go and be replaced by a subscription, because they're decades beyond their remit.
