BBC and what are your views? [confused]

I feel the same way, gillybob. And I do think the salaries paid to some at the top are obscene - how much is Alan Yentob, for example, on?

Apparently there are 91 (bosses) with a combined salary of £19 million. Its eye watering.

Then you have the likes of Graham Norton on £2.6 million and Gary Lineker on £2 million.

How can the BBC justify this? It is tax payers money afterall.

A permanent rolling record of everything on BBC Television and Radio. Since October 2007 this site has created a permanent, findable web presence for every programme the BBC has broadcast, with some programmes being populated as far back as 1942.

I am just a BBC fan. I like the integrity they generally show. I am prepared to pay for the lack of ads. Everything defaults
to Radio 4 here.

On ITV catch up you can not whizz through the ads. Awful. Every time you go forward you are met with a raft of ads.

BBC news can be biased but so can Channel 4. My Dad thought BBC was the only channel to view. We were the last people to have ITV at my school. He used to say "Let's watch the news in English!"(He was born in 1907.)

They do need to rationalise their salaries for all those people played obscene salaries.

So long live the BBC just take care you don't loose it all.

My late grandma was the opposite LullyDully she preferred ITV and said it was for "us working class". She was also dead against the crazy salaries paid from tax payers money.

BBC news is so PC it is almost laughable at times.

The reason they pay high salaries to some presenters is to retain them and because their shows sell on well, and easily.

I feel almost the same about the BBC as I do about the NHS - I think it should be treasured. So they get some things wrong but I am always astonished when going to the US and Canada how appalling their TV is and how friends I meet there spend all their viewing times watching BBC boxed sets. I would pay double the licence fee without quibbling.

I have two properties therefore I have to buy two licences, I never watch live television so it is used as a monitor for watching DVDs, of course the set could be used to watch live TV so I am not exempt.
I would like to think that all those abroad, receiving BBC, were contributing too but I guess not.

Take it that those who don't like the BBC are not going to watch The Last Kingdom tonight [can't wait, me!!].
