Which (and I have contacts in the Advertising industry that can verify this) would introduce a MASSIVE oversupply of advertising space, and drop prices so low that ITV (and several commercial channels) would be in SEVERE danger of going bankrupt.

Before you say "That's OK, I don't watch ITV", bear in mind that ALL commercial channels would have reduced income, and, in the case of Sky, they would probably put prices to their subscribers and cable companies UP to compensate.

So, you could end up paying more..

Re: But is it worth it?
Personally I would'nt mind the price rise if there was anything decient on tv, at pretty much any time of the day. If you switch on the tv during the day/ early afternoon all you see is totally braindead tat. I love that the BBC consider a program like Bargin Hunt to be a good way to spend the licence payers money. If the BBC want to renew their charter, and increase the fee, then its time they invested our money more wisely. As it is I watch very little tv because I'll either have some reality tv pap or a home/ garden improvement show on. In my view......... bless computers and online gaming.

People on a low income are going to find it hard to find the extra money.

adding to their grief... Rent, Gas & Electricity Going up etc.

I'm just waiting for Sky to add a couple of ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£ÃƒÆ ’‚£ on their channel packages like they have done so far each year.

Sure, great, lose the one place you can get to watch films, sport etc without a) having to pay for them or b) having the action interrupted by stupid bloody commercials.

And you can also watch the news without "10 dead in road crash, coming up after the break"...!
