We like the specialist output of documentary channels like Discovery (networks) and Nat Geo. IF the BBC were producing mostly this output I would have no argument about funding it but because it has to pander to the low brow tastes of the major popule it fails for us. That's why I object to being forced to pay for it.
You do know that BBC content often ends up on Discovery and Nat Geo ?That in doing so the BBC are recouping the licence money?That the the licence money you don't want to pay to watch Eastenders etc but in fact go to produce a lot of documentaries and Natural History programmes as well.
