The whole of sport should be in its own section. I cannot understand why BBC1, BBC are used for football, tennis, Olympics etc., when with digital the BBC could allocate a BBC Sport channel or two like SKY and let non sports fans have alternative viewing during these events. Frequently the two main BBC channels are fully taken up with grown men punting a bladder around a field. BORING.
Well according to this: of the 9 top guest appearances, Farage is #9, with 7 of the other 8 being left wing people.

used to be a quality programme, days of dimbledone, now just the dregs of MP's and celebrities who appear, who believe they have some kind of polymath eloquence expressing their pov. 'contestants' who would in a heart beat sign themselves up for strictly
you are being ironic, I assume.
Because if you don't like what's on Sky, you don't buy it... free market capitalism. The problem with the BBC, is that you're forced to pay for it if you want to watch a competitors product.It's comical to read the outrage regarding the viewing schedule; no-one ever complains about what was on Sky One last night.
Think about it.
Is this sarcasm? I'm not really sure what your point is.The reason people complain about what's on BBC is because they feel like they have a say in what should be on it. And they do, because it's theirs.
Meh, people don't cancel their Sky subscription because they don't like what's on Sky One. The reason people complain about what's on BBC is because they feel like they have a say in what should be on it. And they do, because it's theirs.
I agree that it's not the greatest benchmark, but "7 of the other 8" excludes the number 1 spot held by Ken Clarke - that's a fairly important exception to the rule!
) would cease to exist.Out of interest (asking, not being obtuse) do you know how for example the US FTA terrestrial broadcast system is funded? This seems like a good point if the license fee pays for the existing transmitters - we'll end up with an infrastructure tax to maintain terrestrial services.The percentage of people who own a TV and don't watch any of those channels is absolutely miniscule, and if anyone falls into that category then they don't need to pay for a TV licence. The problem here is that people think the ads on ITV pays for the broadcast costs - they don't. ITV utilises the existing infrastructure that the licence fee funds. If the BBC moved to a different funding model then it would not be able to maintain the existing infrastructure and would therefore probably broadcast exclusively via a subscription based iPlayer facility.

A massive fine. Yea right
