Thread: Tv Licence

  1. #1

    Tv Licence

    174 quid

    50 p a day

    Lots of bland stuff on free tv but come on ....

    Plenty of channels , I player , Radio , Podcasts

    No adverts

    That's the clincher for me

    Sky News must have a break every 10 minutes for absolute cobblers

    Anyway most of the time I have the tv on mute with sabbath blasting out so bollocks to them

    I barely watch any BBC these days, listen to the odd bit of radio though.

    the payment model is out of date though. I think they should just scrap the licence and fund it through general taxation

    I find bbc , itv, the various I players and free view gives me more than enough

    I listen to more music than I do watch tv so with regard to paying for anything it's streaming Spotify etc that gets my cash

    even though I rarely watch BBC I'm very glad it is there.

    it has a profound effect on the rest of the broadcasting space in the UK, without the BBC setting a certain standard there would be immediately a race to the bottom in terms of content from other UK sources.
    there would immediately be a change in tone of news broadcasters.
    the UK's viewing consumption would immediately become more saturated with US imports.
    as it is I already have to correct my kids from saying "put some gas in the car" etc from the videos they watch online
    if you've ever watched much TV in France or Australia you'll see how shite it could get.

    Is Talk TV still going ?

    Whilst the BBC can be accused of many things ......to suggest it's left wing compared to the foaming mouth union jack crap on those channels is laughable

    I think those that say GB News and the like are their kind of current affairs tv have signed their own Nigel Farage fan club membership card just by watching the garbage

    Oh I am not a right wing nutcase they say , I just watch nutty right wing tv ....because it's obvious the BBC is run by commies

    Not a lot going on upstairs


    I watched the gb news version of political debate once

    Right wing presenter
    Right wing guests
    Right wing audience asking Right wing questions
    Right wing applause to the Right wing answers

    It was like The Stepford Wives

    You didn't have to watch it and you weren't paying for it. Only communists demand state sponsored media, so make of that what you will.
