Danny 0 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Who has actually gone through with this? Aka - no longer watching BBC, their news, their regional news, or any radio coverage of theirs? Or any programmes on the BBC? Where do you all stand here? I saw one post from someone who professes to despise the BBC, yet even he was still listening to Sportsound, so what about the rest of you? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craigy1881 79 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 I don't watch/listen to the BBC anyway apart from F1 and I am not missing that this weekend 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darthter 542 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 What difference is it going to make anyway???? The Beeb don't make their money from advertising, so viewing figures aren't gonna have any impact in their income. You also have to pay your TV license whether you watch/listen to anything BBC anyway - they already have your money....they're don't really care if the average person watches/listens or not!!! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza_8 233 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 I'm on the BBC iPlayer website watching Top Gear: Bolivia Special the now. To be honest, I couldn't care about the boycott. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GovanAllan 0 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 I don't actually watch that much because there's nothing on worth watching most of the time. Same as Gazza if I want to watch something Iplayer does the trick. Of course usually watch Sportscene so see just how bad they can get at spotting every little thing we get up to but miss everything else from everybody else. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there in lies the the problem they are a publicly funded body who couldn't care less what the public think. Stop the tv license its outdated and make them earn a real living like everybody else. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is why we turn off any of their productions. I would also contact them about the waste of licence fee money paying the expenses of daly and his mhob jetting around the globe to make his pile of shite. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have followed through with the boycott.... not that difficult when I dont get it out here though, other than the World Service, and I never watch that anyway ! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
metlika 0 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Nah I'm not boycotting the BBC, not keen on the Scottish programming anyway and rarely watch Sportscene when its on. I use the website more but yeah, also watch F1 on it. Sometimes its hard to boycott everything on the BBC when it has 4 channels etc. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juancornetto 1 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Never a fan of boycotts, it always comes across as a bit petty and more a timmy thing to come out with (broken crests etc) The biggest impact is to be had when BBC bosses get a whiff that their regional operation is possibly going off message. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
