If other TV channels advertise for revenue, then why can't the Beeb, They started up these digital channels, so therefore they should advertise on them, Over the years l have delivered many time to the 'old' studios, thenit developed into the major large one on the A40, and they have two across the road, if they cannot afford to run the digital channels, they should close these buildings down, and not expect the public to subsidise them, especially when they paid 100.00 pounds for those silly hippos to swim aroung to join a circle, any kid from a play school could have done that for a can of pop and a mars bar.
