I know this one! What you like is "good" and what you don't is "crap", right? Unfortunately for you, it's not all about just what you want or like.

Again, prove it. Yes, they do repeat stuff on their digital channels. With the current real-word reduction in the LF they have to. But they still produce (and commission) a lot more new programmes than pretty-much any other broadcaster.
