Should have been ahead of the curve mate… done a subscription type model that people want, instead, you waiting till everyone quit because its shit
A subscription service being a red line because they know that people won’t pay £10 a month for their service. If they can’t compete on fair terms, they should shut shop.
I still find it werid we are the only country with a “TV Goon Squad” who comes house to house to fund “Strictly Come Dancing” and other high quality shows.
Oh people don’t want to pay for crap TV and support an “institution” that has repeatedly covered up literally hundreds of complaints of harassment, bullying, sexual assault and rape by some of their big “stars”?
Colour me shocked.
Last time I had a tv licence I was watching re-runs of shit tv. I got more joy out of YouTube videos, watching random meme shit.
Do people under 40 watch “live” TV bar sports now anyway? With all the streaming services and youtube whats the draw of iplayer or actual TV channels now?
Should be a very customizable subscription instead.
I do not want to see Sports instead of the thing I wanted, you also get the added bonus of when Tennis/Football go over time you aren’t getting mad people.
But I guess this will only get done if everyone goes digital/streaming.
Personally I like Radio 4 Comedy, but Sounds/iPlayer is so abysmal to find anything on.
The BBC has its issues but it’s still more impartial than any billionaire owned propaganda company. Some of you wont appreciate how bad it can be till we’re like the US.
The BBC get dragged over the coals, quite rightly so every time they make a mistake. Does GB news for lying constantly?
Who would want to pay for propagandists and peadophiles?
Having a selection of channels and radio stations available without fucking adverts is a godsend. I’ll be very upset if it goes.
We’re all going to get forced to pay for this garbage through general taxation forever just watch.
The BBC needs to go to adverts or a subscription service to fund its overpaid “stars”.
It would be nice if they had a complete back catalogue on iPlayer for us to access.
I never watch BBC but I do occasionally watch ITV. So why can’t we just say no BBC if you don’t pay your license, like block people from watching any BBC channel?
If it was always just taxpayer-funded like any other public service, no one would be fussed.
But if they pivoted to that system now, the news of it would enrage people. As would funding it via advertising. As will keeping and enforcing the license. Can’t win.
it shouldn’t really be up to the BBC how they are funded, it should be up to those who consume BBC content how they wish to pay for it and what price is acceptable
Colour me shocked that no one wants to pay for a zionist propaganda service that covers up numerous sexual predators and offenders
Yea lets scrap the closest thing we have to unbiased news on the TV so Murdoch can launch Fox New UK.
I may not like paying the licence fee but given the alternatives i will keep on doing it.
Judging by comments in other threads & social media it’s the political bias that’s turned a lot away. Perhaps if they didn’t platform Farridge & anonymously funded think tank mouth pieces they could plug that particular hole.
I mean in the grand scheme of things it doesn’t cost that much. Plus I pay for live sports so kind of need it
Haven’t watched terrestrial tv in 10 years or more though so
Hmmmm interesting timing.
I received an email today telling me I had used iplayer recently and so MUST BUY tv licence.
I haven’t used iplayer in years
I never understand how people who cry about losing British culture are happy to have one of our most successful institutions slowly killed off.
Nigel Farage can pay for his own simpering PR, I’m not doing it for him.
Cancelled mine. I actually think the quality of programming and content is good. But no way am I funding a corporation that gives so much airtime to Reform and it’s CEOs donate thousands to conservatives.
I’d support a very much slimmed down public service broadcaster for news and radio funded from general taxation, and a subscription based service for entertainment and sports and whatever else they want to do.
I think having a free at point of consumption public service broadcaster is important for a society, but it doesn’t need to include master chef.
I don’t think it’s right that they alone have this level of enforcement. No other company has the right to be as invasive in television. That doesn’t mean others should have the right, but rather that BBC’s TV license enforcement is an egregious overstep of powers based on a bygone era.
If they weren’t such cunts about it I’d consider paying
I’m still in utter disbelief that the BBC demands a TV licence for all live stream content.
Like, mate… I just wanted to watch a squirrel cam in Finland, not fund another season of ‘Antiques Roadshow!
At this point, if I livestream myself boiling pasta, do I owe the Charlie a tenner?”
