TV licence

They have a duty as a public funded broadcaster to show all sides of things. They have to be neutral.
You want to see bias? Watch Sky News

Neutral

We already have enough shite TV output without potentially creating another...........look at the various dross on ITV etc

The BBC is worth every penny.......even if you tap into just 5% of content.

 

[safc1981]

They can't take a side. This is the point you seem to be missing. It's hard to hold something to account and remain impartial.
That said they could do with binning Jon Humphreys and Andrew Neil



There must be something of some of their output that you use or benefit from

There is nothing, no iPlayer, no radio or apps, dont watch their channels. It’s of no use to me. Others I have spoken to watch lots of bbc programs and I did years back, last couple of years though nothing.

 

[Keawyeds]

I have missed no such point mate. If you believe that the BBC have never taken sides then you are naive. Their coverage over 9/11 7/7 war on terror etc has shown they are nothing but a propaganda mouthpiece for the powers that be.

Do you rent or own your tin hat?

It wouldn't surprise me if you watched things created by or for the BBC but maybe didn't realise

Your opinion Chunks, I just think it has a strong liberal bias.

liberal isnt necessarily left. it mans freedom. free market economics is definitely not a left wing policy. stop using Americanisms that make you look silly. (unless you are an american, in which case you're most likely a lost cause anyway)

 

[Alan BStard]

BBC would be ok if it wasn't for Laura Kuenssburg.

I can only fuckin laugh.

The fact that the BBC applied to the Eu for funding, was given it and then tried by all possible means to keep it secret from the public, speaks for itself.

Impartial my arse.

 

[Rottie]

Lad I work with doesnt bother. Gets letters monthly from them saying they are sending someone round but never gets a knock on the door. I would imagine there are many many people doing the same thing.

I work away and there's 2 of us share a flat. we both have a licence at home and just thought to fuck with paying for another tv licence.

we've had an assortment of letters and threats for years and fk all comes of them.

Loop hole.....

Some TV viewers baffled by TV terminology ahead of iPlayer law change - TV Licensing ™

 

[maghater]

Cannot remember hearing of anyone being copped for not having a tv license for years. Used to appear regularly in the court roundup column of the local rag so doubt they plow much resources into detection now.

I think its difficult to justify a tv license given the numerous devices you can watch on, and the ever increasing number of stations you can watch for free never mind the subscription channels.

Considering how much things like Netflix cost compares to how much the license fee is, you're getting a very good deal from the BBC.

Paying a licence fee belongs back in the dark ages.
Never come across it in any other country during my travels, though there maybe one or two.
As for the endless threatening letters, they all go straight in the bin.

Radio? Website?

 

[Falconhoof]

I don't have one and have no intention of ever getting one.

 

[Steak Pie]

I do love the fact that the licence fee makes the usual crowd so very very angry, and the usual frothing about biased luvvie lefties that follows.

So you've never been to Austria, Denmark, France, Germany, Norway, Sweden, Ireland, Czech Republic, Albania, Ireland, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Croatia, Italy, Montenegro, Poland, Portugal, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Greece (who put it on the electricity bill) or Switzerland?

Television licence - Wikipedia

I'd be happy for the BBC to be subscription based as long as out means out. No BBC website, no BBC TV, no going to a mate's to watch, no going to the pub when the World Cup is on. This applies to spouses and children as well. Your daughter goes to a friend's house for a sleep over on a Saturday, no Strictly or X Factor in that household, for example.
