Barton71 - sorry I didn't make it clear enough; I put "may be paying over the odds" as in might or might not be. There has been a lot of discussion lately about the price increase of the license and my worry is that there are too many politicians and businessmen getting involved that don't need to be, which in my mind means more non-effective payments to "advisors", "co-producer manager executive project coordinators", (you get my drift).

OFCOM on the whole seem to do a reasonable job - cover what they need to and leave well alone when it is not part of their remit, so I would prefer to see a part of them, and only them, cover all things like the Virgin media/Sky issues, License fees, and the like; independent, fare and in the public's interest.

I agree that BBC do some great shows but I do not want to see License fee funds that go into making them reduced so that another unnecessary person has to be paid obscene amounts.
