    There was one other person supporting what I was saying, we even went on to say about the detector vans being a haox, then some were saying they have read of ppl being fined coz they were detected, I was going on saying no they were not, they got fined coz they answered the door and even let them in. Then a few said well better to be safe than sorry I still buy a licence, so you can see the fear they have, 'Better to be safe than sorry' is what they live by and they would buy a licnence if it was £300 and go hungry. I gave up with my argument but there was no way of convincing them.

    I don't care if the BBC wants to charge £169 a year for its content. The ONLY thing I want is not to pay them for the privilege of consuming non-BBC live content for which I've already paid, such as Amazon. I don't know why the other broadcasters don't challenge this status quo, because the BBC is actively hurting their product, of which live telly is a part.

    My missus has a TV licence in Poland but she has come to stay with me in England for a few months. I don't watch any live TV but she wanted to watch the news from her home town. She has been told by TV licensing that she needs a second license if she wants to watch her local news on the internet. See below from TV licensing... Do I need a TV Licence to watch satellite programmes broadcast from outside the UK or Channel Islands?
    Yes, you need a TV Licence no matter where they are broadcast or distributed from. This includes satellite or online streamed programmes from outside the UK or Channel Islands, such as sporting events and foreign shows

    Spot on regarding the self-inflicted pressures the BBC are under. The best example was when Radio 1 & 2 had to share an FM network & Radio 4 was only available on FM when regional stations took over their FM frequencies outside of England.
    This could've been resolved in 1978 when there were major LW & MW frequency changes in Europe. It could've been as follows ;-
    Radio 1 :- 88.1-90.2 FM & 1053/1089 MW
    Radio 2 :- 90.3-92.4 FM & 693/909 MW
    Radio 3 :- 92.5-94.6 FM
    Radio 4 :- 200 LW & various low-power MW relays
    Local & regional BBC radio :- Various MW frequencies
    INR - 1215 & additional MW back-up frequency
    Popular Radio 4 shows, such as The Archers, Desert Island Discs, Baker's Dozen etc., could've been simulcast on either Radio 2 or 3, education programmes could've been broadcast on Radio 1 (a young person's station carrying educational programmes for their age groups would fit with the station's remit) & as all local/regional BBC stations were predominantly in mono, FM wouldn't have been needed & could've carried Radio 3 after their own programmes came to a close.
    But, just like today, a mixture of snobbery & ignorance prevented this happening & the BBC self-inflicted a lot of pressure on itself as a result

    I feel that with the age of the BBC, they try to play on it and try and package themselves as dependable good old, "Auntie Beeb."
    And Old is the point! Most people above a certain age, who grew up with nothing but the BBC, and maybe the "young upstart" of ITV, will always watch it and still see it how it was.
    Even I was actively encouraged to watch the BBC's Swap Shop over ITV's Tiswas as a kid, and with one TV in the house, it was always the BBC and the Broom Cupboard!
    And yeah, back then, there were better programmes to watch.
    But not now. Apart from the fact that most kids now rather stream everything, rather than watch TV. And our gen if we are watching TV would rather watch boring ads on ITV than even more boring programmes on the BBC!
    And that's the problem for the BBC, that little "upstart" that the BBC has always looked down on is getting less viewing than other platforms.
    In the end, the BBC will either have to get ads, get a bailout from the government, or find another way to tax us.
    But when you have advertisers want to be on ITV on Saturday night because of Ant & Dec Saturday night show, that apparently had a section in it that had you actively encouraging you to watch All the adverts in a hope to win those advertised products. When else would you go out of your way to actually willing watch them!
    Shows like that, and I'm a Celb, BGT, etc, ITV is actively aiming for family age groups, whereas the BBC with their Homes, Antiques, Holidays, Gardening, and Soaps, are stil aiming for a certain older age group.
    I used to listen to BBC radio 2, not anymore. Not since the BBC decided Steve Wright and Ken Bruce were too old to either be on or have such a prominent time slot! In an attempt to provide more music for younger audiences. (I'd rather listen to GHR in the car! Lol.)

  • @anonnemo2504
    @anonnemo2504 4 месяца назад +2

    Forget the BBC showing adverts under the BBC banner. They don't want to, they much prefer their funding handed to them on a plate and no government would ever allow it.
    Of course, the BBC carrying adverts would not "grow the pie". Advertisers do not increase their TV advertising budgets because another broadcaster has joined the market. Existing advertisers would see their advertising revenues drop if a big player like BBC were competing for advertising.
    Why are adverts shown on UK Gold etc.? Simple; UK Gold does not broadcast under the BBC banner and most people have no idea that it is owned by the BBC. Perception is everything to politicians and BBC executives.
    What a broadcaster can charge for advertising is not determined by audience figures alone. The type of audience, in terms of affluence etc., is also in the mix. "I'm a Celebrity ", for example, may command large audience figures but, if many of those who watch it don't have a pot to p155 in, numbers alone are not going to attract advertisers.

      They would if you accessed it with an email address that was associated with an address that was previously licensed. People have confessed to this and been fined. Of course, it would require someone confessing, but many people do get fined every week for confessing to a TV licence breach.

    I think all they're gettting at with the 'ads will be worse for the viewer' is that the show will have ads in. Thus in their opinion worse than an ad free BBC TV/Radio. Totally ignoring the fact that no one with any sense is watching ads anyway.
    I'll happily watch free streaming services that have ads. But during the ads it's muted and I'll watch or do something on the other monitor.
