Inexcusable Quality From Bbc

[Chaddamp 0]

Sorry I don't agree with you at all. None of the license payers have a say on what happens within the quango organisation. Steve Wright gets £500000 for his show,he doesn't even pick what's played ! Tot up all the time he's on air per show and I bet its not longer than 45 minutes. BBC weather are over loaded with presenters whether it be on TV or radio,jobs are duplicated for every region in every department when most of news is got from central news so all they do is read it,not collate it.

If it ever gets to a vote to keep it or sell it  I'd vote to get rid along with Channel 4, like we did with BT,B Gas,British steel,water,British Leyland ,coal etc etc,they were all over manned over paid set ups heavily reliant on government to bail them.I don't want to pay the license fee as I don't want to watch the BBC,but I have no choice,and I don't like that.BBC need to be more efficient like LBC,BBC are not good value now.

Like LBC???   - you seriously trying to compare a single radio station which is already owned by global media corporation to the vast multi-platform multi-channel and multi jurisdiction operations under the remit of the BBC.

 

What the hell are you talking about. It's nothing like the same comparison.

 

Unless you have a copy of Steve Wright's contract obligations you have no idea what parts of his own program he directly has influence upon.   Even if he doesn't choose his own music - so what?   The money earned by him is derived  from how much people are prepared to pay for his talent.

 

Brad Pitt and George Clooney don't write and produce the movie that they get paid to star in do they?    Doesn't stop the paying public from wanting to see THEM not some behind the scenes staff does it.  

 

As for the rest of your guff about duplication - you completely fail to appreciate it us viewers and listeners that want that.   You can't have regional programs and regional radio stations presented by a single person in a single location.   Commercial stations are already tying that "networked" way of delivery and received much criticism for it from us very public.  As a perfect example our own Hallam FM which only appears to have 1 to 2 shows a week which are actually broadcast from their Sheffield studio.  The rest of the schedule is streamed in from Manchester or London  or anywhere else where they feel convenient.   Hardly great local content is it?  

 

Look at the fuss created over Look North and the supposed bias between the amount of Leeds stories vs Sheffield ones.   Are you really trying to say that we would prefer an even more centralised approach to save money?  

 

Of course there are multiple presenters for news and weather across the network there has to be - how else do you think it's possible to get forecasts and bulletins delivered across numerous channels at different times and sometimes even in in different languages.   

 

It's all about the service that us public expect.   We can't have it both ways.   Yes of course there can be cuts to be made and I'm sure that this government will put pressure on the BBC to do so.   However we have to face facts about whether we want a truly complete public broadcaster as we seem to demand or we lose it and are left with no option but the wholly commercialised and dumbed down ITV network.  Let's see how many local radio stations they would be prepared to set up and run, how many religious services and educational programs would they  broadcast, how many specialist interest programs do you think they will put on air, how many independent current affairs and consumer programmes do you think they will be prepared to put on air (particularly ones that are freely able to raise criticism of their potential advertisers)....

 

All too easy to criticise until it's too late.

Don't start me off!!! I have a pile of rubber bricks by my side that I throw at the tv! Journalists and top presenters who do not speak gramatically...

 

Have you noticed how some of them, when reporting, pause in the wrong place, it is like they are reading off the autocue and it is going to slow.

People should put their money where their mouths are. If you want news of  unparalleled quality, take out a subscription with the FT. They really are second to none and worth every penny.

Check out Bauer media they own radio hallam. Check out who owns LBC,it may amaze you?

BBC Look North,total waste ,whether its on BBC breakfast or evening  showing.. the late night live outside broad casts are pointless, as is the BBC programme of the same name.The Unions involved within the BBC need to be addressed to rid the BBC of an attitude that will eventually eradicate them. We get to much repeat repeat ,repeat.Over staffed spoilt and pompous .It's so sad that there isn't a method of getting through to them ,but thats the same with all the previous public sector companies who no longer exist

Judging by the quality of your writing, yes.

Well if you did, you might have been able to spell it correctly

 

...but since you don't, and can't, you don't really have anything to complain about.
