Have you not read the news reports? Sending 15 reporters to a news event when all the other broadcasters send one or two? That is just one example of many reports about the BBC's wastefulness. I, for one, don't want to pay for waste.

I don't worry about these clashes any more. That's why I have a recorder and make use of the i-Player. I am surprised that so many people still watch so much live TV, particularly on the commercial channels.
