Which, as with all the previous such investigations, will find nothing out of the ordinary. So another waste of public money.

You have been reading the links and quotes I posted I assume?

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.

I haven't had a detailed, close look, no. Have you or are you just looking at the odd day and assuming?

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

Good job they don't actually do that then, isn't it?!

What point is that then ?you have failed to make a valid one and i just pointed out how it works .

I give up. No, really. I have spent the last couple of days making very good points, all of which seem to have been completely ignored. Which doesn't really help in a discussion.

The BBC have a market advantage in that their revenue is guaranteed and only likely to go up in the future

Apart from the recent 16% real-terms cut, you mean? See. You aren't actually reading my responses, are you?

i feel that program making is suffering so they can overpay their senior management.

What you 'feel' is completely irrelevant. The fact is that the BBC make far more programmes of a wider range than any other UK broadcaster.

In my opinion...

And you are welcome to it.

I'm done here.
