We all don't like the fee, but if the beeb became a commercial network, they would be more focusing on ratings then the quality of programmes...

Yet again. YET AGAIN.

If you want to begin YET AGAIN the debate over the existance of the BBC licence fee, do some research, make a point and justify your opinion.

I have no time for people who post links to online petitions and, in all probability, have no real idea about the area they are scratching the surface of.

Not forgetting...

Radio 1 Xtra
World Service

...and digital versions of many of the above. I know they're the same service, but the BBC have invested heavily into promoting digital radio and television.

Tho' the latter is funded by a Foreign Office grant, rather than the licence fee.

Quite. I'll bet a penny to a pound that Mr I T V 1 has never so much as seen an application form, and probably mewls when his parents take the Sky remote off him.

Oh, fair enough. I'd forgotten that. Still, it's difficult to argue that the BBC is bad value for money. Doesn't mean it couldn't do better, though. 1100 staff in HR (or whatever it is) does seem a bit OTT.

Don't forget BBC Learning Zone, which helps people with schoolwork/uni/college.
That service is unique, because not even PBS gets to that level, just crappy kids programmes.

He can't even use the correct 'licence' (with a c not and s) so I would tend to think either he's an ill-educated moron, or a child who has never had to pay said fee.
