Obviously, you're not going to get the majority of the population watching one TV programme when there's other forms of entertainment out there. So I know Old Boy is bright enough not to mean this unusual definition and instead the industry definition as used in BroadbandTVNews.

It's not the first time that questions or points made change with discussion!
However, I don't agree with The Daddy when he says that most of us don't watch the BBC. On the contrary, I think most do, but my argument is that those who don't shouldn't have to pay, and that is why I like the idea of a subscription model for today's audience. I also think there should be an ad-funded version available for those who do not wish or cannot pay.
The constant refrain that other channels would not make some of the programmes it does if the Beeb didn't exist I find hard to fathom. There are examples of similar programmes on other channels, which disproves that. If the BBC didn't already have the rights to Eurovision, Wimbledon, etc, do you really think other channels wouldn't pick them up?
