£150 a year, for a channel that hardly puts out any quality programming. Fantastic.

Oh lovely. I wish we didn't have to pay this. I'd be happy not to receive any BBC Transmissions at all. I pay my Sky subscription, which gives me channels I actually want to watch.
Can't remember the last time I watched a BBC Channel - or an ITV one for that matter. Terrestrial is balls.

ITV and Channel 4 are funded by advertising fees, but occassionally churn out something worth watching. BBC is 'My Hero', 'My Family', and 'All About Becks', ain't it? Dire, dire, dire!
"We know that licence fee payers find the licence fee a burden in their household costs," Mr Thompson said.
"But on the other hand, we also know that they are overwhelmingly in favour of the BBC spearheading these new digital services."
Hello? What are the BBC spearheading exactly?
They've got 4 TV channels full of crap, numerous unneeded radio stations, and have lost every major sport and sporting event except the occasional England match and Wimbledon - and that only runs for 2 weeks.
Scrap the license and make them advertise.

Hey, maybe it'll go into reviving Jasper Carrott for another shot at the big time?
They were involved in developing digital broadcasting technology at a time when none of the commercial groups thought it was commercially viable to do so.
And if they had the extra money, maybe there could be good tv one day.
Also, it's nice to have news which doesn't have quite such a strong commercial drive to present things in a way that maximises viewership and profits.
However, with news and stuff available on the net, the prospect of giving up tv altogether seems increasingly attractive.

I never understood why you have to pay TV license when you have Sky. Surely you're paying for a TV license in the £44 a month or whatever it is now.
I wouldn't say all of the BBC sucks. Just BBC1. Their main channel, which is dire.
Great.
But yeah, lotsa money.
But 2/3/4 have good stuff.

But nowhere near worth £15 a month.
