Tv licence has "10 years left"

[bigsexydoug]

The director General has said he would be interested In a tax instead of a licence ( I bet he would), the BBC can't compete with sky for major sports tournaments without government help in making some of those compulsory on one the 5 channels.

 

Surely it's time to either make the BBC a subscription service or allow it to show adverts so it has to compete with sky for quality service ?

 

Me personally I think it's time to let the BBC go on its own, I find the radio stations poor, I don't watch a single programme on any of the BBC channels or even any of the 5 Free to air channels, I don't see why I should subsidise other people's choice of channels, I find hundreds of shows to watch on the sky service and your not forced by threat of jail to pay my sky bill.

Radio stations poor?? It's the only thing really worth the license fee. Local radio, whilst still a bit tin pot still can provide useful info and sports coverage is unrivalled on 5live and 5live sports extra.

I find radio Sheffield pretty poor, even the music choice isn't very good tbh, certainly not worth £145 a year !

Ive banned tv license salesmen from my door. If they approach it or contact me by post i can sue them for harassment. They havent been in touch for almost 5 years though.

So because you can't find anything worthwhile on BBC radio and television the payment system has to change. Try harder. As for quality service on Sky, try less hard.

People complain about the BBC, yet happily throw 50 a month at Sky to watch crap, full of adverts and lining the pockets of scum like Murdoch.

Your opinion, which is fair, yet I think their shows are much better, so surely the fairest way would be for you to pay for the BBC via subscription and I will pay for sky via subscription agreed ?
