It's not going down well with ministers at the moment ,hence the investigation

Whereas the BBC do not and can therefore take risks with some programming and have a dedicated channel for programmes that may not get a lot of viewers but which is appreciated by many; BBC4.
You know you just made the case for the BBC there, don't you?

you looked at those channels recently ,BBC 3 and 4 only transmit for a few hours and when they do they are mostly repeats from BBC 1 and old stuff .Less channels and more new content is badly needed ,and i don't mean more reality tv

Well yes. Apart from that Royal Charter nonsense and it's remit to "inform, educate and entertain" then yes, it can do what it likes

which means that their remit is to produce quality programs not provide cradle to the grave luxury lifestyles for it's execs at the expense of those quality programs

Yeah. Okay. Well done on completely missing the point though
|
What point is that then ?you have failed to make a valid one and i just pointed out how it works .
The BBC have a market advantage in that their revenue is guaranteed and only likely to go up in the future ,i feel that program making is suffering so they can overpay their senior management .In my opinion the BBC has to change ,it cannot continue to fund all the new channels ,i player ,HD etc on it's current income and pay the wages it is to the senior management something has to give .
