BrahimHemdani 1 Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 it's time to abolish the licence fee I think a lot of people would agree with that but then you would lose a lot of good things, like drama productions and in depth reporting such as on Newsnight at the same time. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The BBC's good points aren't worth the license fee. Never have been, never will be. Even in the old days when the BBC were producing the best comedy shows in the world it wasn't worth it, but nowadays it's just a complete rip-off because the quality of programming is pitiful. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sitting on the fence then! So would you abolish it altogether or make it commercial? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

calscot 0 Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 The licence fee would more than cover subscriptions to Lovefilm Instant and Netflix, where there are no adverts... While I think the BBC already have far too many "adverts" anyway and the dreaded on screen graphics (the worst ones are those that distract you at the end of a programme to tell you what's on next). 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
