BBC and what are your views? [confused]

BBC Radio 1Xtra

BBC Radio Scotland

BBC Radio Cymru

The programmes don't make themselves, they cost money. How does the OP suggest they are funded if there is no licence fee? If everything is sponsored by advertising, how do we make sure that we don't get what the advertiser with the biggest advertising budget wants us to have?

The BBC has been with me all my life. We can't possibly do without it.

I honestly don't know what I'd do without it; also love a lot of Ch4 which is under threat at the moment. If anyone tries to get rid of it I'll be chaining myself to some railings somewhere. Peaky Blinders in itself is worth the licence fee imo.

I would hate not to have BBC.

Don't forget the radio, which is also good value for the licence fee.

I love their documentaries too, and I hate having the rhythm of a drama interrupted by inane ads. It takes money to produce a good programme, more than it does to stick a few slebs in a house full of cameras for a week and film their interactions.

A lot of the other channels show repeats of old BBC stuff instead of making their own. It all had to be created in the first place.

I love it, because they can do a really good documentary and not have a biased advertiser breathing down their neck.

ITV's dramas may have improved, but BBC reporting and documentaries are nowhere near as dumbed down and sensationalist.

And me. I love and value the BBC

Me too whitewave - we do not know how lucky we are. We pay for it and it is ours. Imagine being in China or any other country where free speech is dead and then we know how lucky we are. Or even France - their programmes are complete c**p!

No I am afraid I don't. I love the BBC and happily pay my TV licence every year and consider it excellent value for my money.
