Is the licence fee worth it? Poll discussion

UKTV channels are not broadcast from Television Centre -ergo, Defiant, yet again you are wrong.

You can have your arguments but you cannot hope to back them up with statements that are not true.

I have never disputed run times of any programmes with you merely your incorrect statement about the ads being the same. Again you are factually incorrect.

I don't need to catch you out at anything, and I am not trying to, just pointing out the mistakes you make and hoping to correct them where I can.

So are you saying that you NEVER watch the BBC then?
(PS that question is addressed to Defiant)

I think this one has been answered once already but it seems some of the pro BBC people are hard of hearing. I can live without the mighty BBC and so if you think force feeding people the rubbish the BBC makes then I'm sorry but its not going to change. I have hundreds of chanels here so why should I watch anything on the BBC dictatorship channels ?

If your BBC was so great you'd be all for it going subscription but whenever subscription is mentioned you all go quite and change the subject :rolleyes:

I've proved that they were and Terry Wogan has said it on his UKTV Gold chat show so if you know more than him please tell us which department you work in ?

If its incorrect then the runtimes would be different in both countries but as the links so their NOT

Perhaps you should try providing some proof then because the last bit of so called proof forgot to mention it was formally owned by the BBC!

How do you know so much about it if you never watch it?

OK- UKTV is transmitted from the Broadcast Centre, formally home of BBC Broadcast now Red Bee. Look up the Red Bee website and you will see that this is the case. You have proved nothing. Terry Wogan may make his shows in Television Centre, I honestly don't know, but they are not broadcast from there. So you are wrong. There you go. Easy.

Read my earlier post regarding run times and see if you can understand it. read it slowly this time. The run times are the same, as I have said, what goes into the remaining time is different. This is not what you suggested.

As Jack Nicholson said " You want the truth? You can't handle the truth!"

squirreltufty, Defiant, ckerrd YOU ARE SPLITTING HAIRS and it makes me want to close my browser and move to the TV to watch some quality Cxxx from the Bib.

Why don't we go back to the original debate : Fee good or bad??? :T

The Anti BBC TV Licence is huge and it's easy to find out things about the rip-off merchants known as the BBC

Here's one for those reading this (the majority)

Trust in the BBC is at an all-time low. The Abolish The TV Licence ­campaign has published Government research which shows 14 million households would not subscribe to the BBC if they had the choice.
Spokesman Jonathan Miller said: “For the first time it puts a figure on the gap between what the public might be willing to pay for the BBC, and the £3billion it actually pays via a tax. The BBC would have a shortfall of £1.8billion.”

Yes this is why the Pro BBC people go quite whenever someone mentions subscriptions. Even the governments own figures show 14 million households wouldn't sign up to it and government figures tend to be higher then what they really are so I'd imagine its really something like 20 million

Well said but you'll find the pro BBC people don't wish to keep this subject on topic because they'd get hammered

I don't the licence fee is sustainable in its current form for that much longer.
I think the BBC will have to have a radical overhaul and stop doing some of the things it does and sell off more of its assets.
If you watch, listen and surf BBC content then it is good value for money but it has over reached itself, IMHO, and can no longer be all things to all (wo)men

You've still not told everyone where you work at the BBC. You must work for the BBC because you seem to know more than Terry Wogan or is he getting seniel in his old age so doesn't know which studio's he's working in ?

One of the joys of the internet is a search engine.

Terry Wogan may well make his programmes in his garden shed for all I know or care, however you stated that UKTV was broadcast from (not made in) Television Centre. WRONG! You do have a problem with being wrong it seems.
