      They’ve continuously had their budget cut, they are making increasingly more abroad and are further monetising their overseas content, but there is only so much they can do in response to austerity.

      About time… BBC have had a bad couple of years with credibility… Hopefully they will be looking at how they can restore it and give maximum value to the licence payers.

      “In a rapidly changing media market, we continue to face substantial financial pressures.”

      Larping as your run-of-the-mill market participant while funded by compulsory taxation, lol.

      “Let’s cut the budget massively AND raise the TV license fee.”

      Is that Chat GPT’s suggestion on how to get people to start paying for a TV license?

      Maybe stop ruining shows for the sake of ticking a box, like Diversity Who

      Standard reminder – the TV licence cost £145.50 in 2010. It was frozen for years under the Tories. If it had kept pace with inflation, the licence fee would cost £241 today. This is why there is so much cost cutting at the BBC.

      I pay more than twice as much for my road tax/VED as I do for the TV licence. I know which one gives me better value.

      I guess Crapita are running out of uninformed people they can bully into getting a TV Licence.

      I’ve been looking and still haven’t found anything I want to watch on the BBC. Nothing against the content but just none of it appeals to me at all. I find stuff I want to watch elsewhere.

      It really irks me that I have to pay a fee for something I never watch.

      Why do we need the bbc, there is million other info sources

    10. Danibalector on

      Could probably save a million on not posting the non license homes a letter every month

      If they cut back on all the woke programming they’d have a fortune

    12. Admirable_Aspect_484 on

      If they removed the free tv licence for those on pension credit, it would generate £100 million.

      I wonder how much the BBC lost over the decades with over-75-year-olds being entitled to free tv licence.

      I wonder whether we’ll get another David Attenborough series about the death of another Dinosaur being the BBC that refused to adapt to modern times

      Good news for Rooney being tied into a multi year deal and having multiple presenters for MOTD

      Then perhaps they should be investigated for the hundred of millions of cut spending which up until now was reported to be crucial to the survival of the BBC and had all been siphoned out of the publics pockets who were legally obligated and harassed into handing that money over to the BBC in the first place.

      Just feels a bit like fraud to me… Why is that?

      The BBC is too big. Why do they need to produce programmes that compete with what is available commercially? They should slim down and produce stuff that isn’t produced by others.

      This isn’t when I was a child and there was only two non BBC channels.

    18. canycosro on

      Genuine question why does BBC have a pigin language service.

    19. Gemini_2261 on

      Why didn’t they charge a reasonable fee for their apps. 75million+ downloads, for goodness sake.

    20. funfuse1976 on

      Scrap the TV licence, stand in your own two feet and live within your means.

    21. LifeFeckinBrilliant on

      If they bin Kunessberg & Bruce & stop paying R/W think tank spox it would be a start.

    22. IsyABM on

      Impartiality in tatters and their programmes really aren’t as good as they used to be.

      I used to see BBC content as sophisticated and high quality. Now it often feels forced or tired, without any creative flair or personality.

    23. Bitter-Policy4645 on

      Perhaps they should focus on overseas sales to fund their UK operation and avoid the cuts.

    24. dudewithlettuce on

      I’ve always said about the BBC you don’t realise how much you’ll miss it if it’s gone but this post has made me see it’s just going to get shitter and shitter and get to a point where people won’t miss it at all because it has absolutely no impact on their lives

    25. Boundish91 on

      I don’t understand why they don’t just fund it through the income tax.

      Lots of countries do it that way. You get broader funding and people won’t complain as much because the actual monetary amount each individual has to contribute is very low when it’s spread out over so many people.

      To have a public broadcaster is critical in these times.

      Also as someone from a friendly neighbouring country, please, please wake up to what Farage is trying to do to your country.

      If you don’t stop it you’ll have the same stuff that’s going on in the US on your hands. These people are purposely sowing division and hatred. And if you look under the populist skin, you will see that their policies will increase inequality, which will make everything worse.

      The UK is one of my favourite countries and i hate to see you be conned like this. That’s not to say that we’re immune in other countries, far from it. The US and Russia are funding people who will hurt our democracies. We need to be vigilant, because these people take advantage of our frustrations.

      Sorry, i went off on a tangent there, but it’s so important.

      It’s no longer neutral if my boy didn’t watch it I’d cancel my TV license

      The only solution that I’ve seen proposed that I think could work is actually quite simple.

      Split the BBC in 2. One part is news, the royals, the British events. A national broadcaster. This is free to air, with a minimal licence fee, or better yet, out of taxation.

      The second is a subscription channel – Strictly, Traitors, Attenborough, Night Manager, Eastenders and so on. And absolutely maximise any archive sales – Dr Who, CBBC, Top Gear and many more.

      There is no possible justification for these shows to be a compulsory charge on the public any more.

      Obviously this would be huge cuts to production and jobs – but otherwise the risk is it just implodes under a future government who is not sympathetic to it.

      Get rid of tories in the beebs senior leadership as well as Tory presenters keep the license fee and up it in line with inflation. Pay for the the inflation rises bit with an extra tax on the area of Westminster. Don’t penalize presenters if they talk about human rights abuses.

      Also restore world service. Nat Geo and history units and news. And the rest just collab with HBO and Netflix and do co productions and charge extra to people outside the UK for the service

      They’ll not do any of this

    29. Deadly_Flipper_Tab on

      If they moved to a subscription format they would be dead in 5 years. They are failing against competitors that don’t have the ability to fine you for not paying up. It’s time to cut it off from the tax payers teat and let the free market decide.

    30. Soppydogg on

      With the upcoming trial for upsetting “The Donald” they will need all the savings and the license fee will have to go up

    31. HussingtonHat on

      BBC liscence fee is one of those things that I would miss if it was turned over to some guy for profit. Just like basically everything that happened to. Water, post, railways. The lot.
