- Cthulhu_ 12y agoSubtle. The alternative is biased commercial TV which prefers ad-spattered sensation over what the BBC produces. But I'm sure you prefer that. Besides, the BBC amasses fortunes selling their programs abroad; Top Gear in its original form and in the formula license is shown in over 150 countries worldwide. And that's just one of their productions.
- sklogic 12y agoI'm not against the licence fees. I'm not comfortable with the money being wasted on a project so obviously broken by design.
- lurcio 12y agoI for one don't mind that they use tax payers money - because for all its many and varied biases* (national & cultural blindspots, party political) - its output is valuable and often of benefit/interest beyond Blighty. * BBCs insistence that it is unbiased is unrealistic imo (but not as outlandish as Fox's 'fair and balanced'). Its more of an ideal rather than something anyone/org can achieve. I admire their attempts to achieve some kind of balance, although sometimes the BBC can filter too much thats not 'centre-ground' (but less so than US networks).
- sklogic 12y agoI'm ok with their coverage. They've just made it less accessible. Just another one in a long line of over-funded IT failures.
