Sorry, DJ, but I can't agree with that. They have far more programmes on in a week that are worth watching than the likes of Sky One.
However, I guess it depends on what you like to watch. I just don't go for shallow programming, reality shows and documentaries based on the afflictions some poor people have to put up with.
I do think, however, that the funding for the BBC should be re-thought. For example, rather than a licensing fee, why not set up a subscription channel (or bouquet of channels) with advertisements showing quality dramas, shows, documentaries, films, etc, which can then be repeated in the summer months on BBC1 and 2? I also think that all the existing BBC channels should carry advertisements between programmes (not during programmes).
I think if a Conservative Government is elected next time around, they will either reduce or abolish the licence fee, but I don't think any other political party will go that far if elected.
However, the licence fee annoys so many people, I think that sooner or later the Government of the day is going to have to do something about it. I just hope the result is one based on intelligent thinking and does not result in dumbing down of programmes.
