Poll: Would you suffer ads for no BBC license fee?

[britboy4321]

I read that 12 minutes of ads per hour would completely remove the need for a license fee altogether.


Good idea? or bad?

 

[LordSplodge]

HELL NO

 

[Teledude]

Bad - Id rather pay sky/itv/etc another £100 odd quid a year to bin their ads too

 

[Dr Jack]

HELL NO!

Long live our gracious BBC!

 

[TheCenturion]

HELL NO

 

[Glaucus]

Depends if you thing the BBC remit is worth it. If you removed license fee you would have to remove the remit which guarantees the BBC does x,y,z. So it's no where as easy as saying fees or adverts.

Anyway no.

 

[Cosimo]

Where would it end. NO.

 

[Brian8bit]

I pay the license fee because I hate watching TV with adverts. Hate it. Channels in the UK that have advertising are getting worse. And 100+ channels dedicated to advertising? **** that.

I also hate advertising on the internet. Anyone else remember the days you could visit a website for information and it was all contained on one page and there wasn't an advert to be seen.

 

[Burnsy2023]

The reason I listen to BBC Radio and TV is often due to the lack of ads. Personally, I'd much prefer paying the licence fee.

 

[Bug One]

Definitely not. There are what 999 other channels you can watch if you want adverts.

Remember f1 on itv. What a sham.

I hate my son watching anything but the BBC kids channels as well because of the adverts.

 

[Rroff]

I'd rather pay for good quality content (and no ads)... sadly the BBC is somewhat varied on that aspect, far too often theres just nothing I'm interested in.

 

[Relentless81]

I dont watch it, so yes.

 

[mdb08]

Not really a fan of adverts. I feel it ruins a TV program, imagine Doctor Who with adverts in It's awful to watch on like "Watch"

 

[Jonny69]

I can't stand adverts. I mainly record everything on the Humax box and watch it later so I can skip through adverts

 

[TheMagicPirate]

Films sans-ads is worth the fee for me alone.

Add to that the decent stuff BBC do along with iPlayer and its not a bad service for 150 a year really.

 

[Philtor]

Channel 5 have to be the worst... 5 minutes into a program and it goes to an ad break! On this basis I don't mind paying the licence fee for the BBC channels

 

[steve-h]

I detest adverts... I'll gladly pay a TV licence.

 

[jp_bl_68]

As long as they don't interrupt iPlayer programmes to show adverts then I couldn't care less. 99.99% of the BBC's programming is of no interest to me whatsoever.

 

[Skidder]

BBC is brilliant just the way it is.

I dont mind this so much. You find it a lot on American TV shows.

It means that you get a short intro and then a sold chunk of show before the end/mid break.
