TV and radio channels being sold off or closed in the biggest shakeup of British broadcasting in decades. According to the Sunday Times senior figures in Downing Street have decided the BBC needs to be dramatically cut down in size. A source told the newspaper: “We are not bluffing on the licence fee. We are having a consolation and we will whack it. It has to be a subscription model.“They’ve got hundreds of radio stations, they’ve got all these TV stations and a massive website.
The BBC is partially privately owned. People have to stop thinking it's just publicly funded. They make a lot of money on digital, merchandise and advertising and we have no idea how much. Attached page 3 of the Freedom of Info request
If i want to watch bbc then I'd subscribe, as I don't want to watch, they threaten me to force me to pay, just learn bbc, stand on your own two feet, all the other channels seem to manage with just as good programs as you, it's the greed & saleries that turned me off the bbc.
It’s hardly surprising that Boris is waging war on the BBC when they seem intent on criticising his policies on news and current affairs programs.
Why not have a reduced licence fee to pay for the quality programs such as BBC4, Radios 3&4 and to pay for Freeview?Since BBC1 is intent on competing with ITV for audience nos.,they should do so on equal terms and have advertisements. Also adverts on Radios 1 & 2.
BBC very much like CNN.

There is same movement in Japan. The national political party, Guard the national from NHK will abolish public broadcasting's lisence fee in Japan too.

Your foolish readers will lap this up. The idea is to sell off BBC assets, already paid for by generations of licence fee payers to their media mogul chums. Review future BBC funding, but don't sell off BBC assets that we have already paid for.
Why
Up there with abolishing slavery in'it? Slavery of leftist eltist agitprop should be abolished
Needs to happen. Being forced to pay for propaganda is fascist.
LiamTownsend261 no more licence fee 🤗 happy birthday to you 😊
About time in this new era of TV!
should northerners pay a higher fee than southerners what kind of impact study has ignored this fact
lainnycolinrfc Can’t wait for those bastards who run the sport department at BBCScotland to get their jotters. At a time when they should be securing allies they are alienating half the country with their biased coverage. Micheal Stewart has still not been sacked.
At last the BBC should stan on it own feet well done no10
Superb news they can then have adverts and pay for itself get this done ASAP BorisJohnson
What a desaster for freedom of press, not driven by corporate interest and media goguls like Murdoch.
val_tigress Yay!
GOOD... then the. BBC will be on that level playing field with the rest of the media... Let's see how they handle the real world
BBC is dominated by the Puritan liberal elite, expel these people and I would gladly pay for quality dramas and News. However, as it stands the BBC must lose the license fee. Too much attention to minorities, political correctness and social messages.
How has someone FINALLY GROWN A BRAIN AND A SET , BLOODY TAKEN 50 YRS TOOOOOOOOOO LONG
Good, we don’t watch anything by the bbc or use iplayer so why the hell should I pay their wages or fund shows we don’t watch. Our house watches streaming services we choose to pay for not tv we’re forced to pay under threat of fines and imprisonment
val_tigress Wonderful news!
NeilJamesWeekes Good 👍
Yeah sorry bbc I loved you once but the leftist politics is repugnant
the BBC supported the EU Supreme Soviet because it gained lovely EU grants from Brit taxpayers. Alas AUNTY became a National traitor/ SO GOOD Bye. It may have sold our UK soul abroad.
Before pensioners need to pay fee I hope
When
We live in hope.
