Re: paying for channels I can't see.
Mar 11, 2003, 21:41
I generally think the Beeb license is preferrable to ads, especially when things like things like "Life of Mammals" grace the screen.
However, I do feel somewhat irked in recent times that substantial monies from the license fee are diverted into producing & promoting stuff on channels I can't see i.e. BBC's 3 & 4 and News 24 and so on. In particular I'm thinking of BBC3 'cos of it's remorseless plugging on the regular beeb ( the channel with 'no adverts'?) which has a bigger annual budget (from the license fee) than Channel 5 and currently often has viewing figures of less than 50 000 for its 'flagship' shows. I currently can't afford cable/a box or whatever the ***K it is you need to see these things yet my money is going to fund these ventures.
What I have seen of BBC 4 it seems pretty good (parent & pals have it) but cant afford to be forced into cable/digital just to see where my license fee is currently going.
Yours, peeved of Manchester
