Really? I think since Virgin Media sold off Virgin Media TV, there is less to watch and more to pay. That 50% ownership of UKTV was revenue that could help keep the cost of Virgin Media services down, now that is going, Virgin Media will get one lump sum which it will use to expand its network and then raise the cost to customers to cover the yearly profit that it once made from UKTV.
And the BBC owns the remaining 50% profiting from the advertising when it claims that ''we do not have adverts on our channels and therefore we impose a licence fee upon you'' To be honest i've never paid for a TV licence and never will, the BBC should have adverts on or else make them pay-tv channels and therefore be included in your Virgin Media or Sky bill. £145 per year is a lot of money just to watch Eastenders!
