What do people expect ? The licence fee has been frozen for years. the Govt. now expect the BBC to pay for pensioners licence fees (who are exempt from all cuts as they vote Tory). BBC3 is also going and the website is going to be drastically reduced. I'd rather they got rid of the downmarket stuff e.g. talent shows - leave that tripe to Sky /ITV, and concentrate on what they are good at i.e. high quality drama (and I don't mean soaps).

The red button is a small loss -more of a hindrance when you accidentally push it and can do nothing else on your tv for 5 mins....
