What do ya'll think of the BBC? It used to be good but it's
pretty shitty these days. I'd be all for cutting it back to
1 tv channel, keep the radio channels, make it less PC and
stuff. More Nicky Campbell stuff less of the One Show.I
don't think it should be scrapped completely because that
would hand Murdoch too much power. They could completely
scrap channel 4 and I wouldn't give two hoots.

i haven't had a telly in yonks but it has been slim pickings
on iplayer lately. they still do good documentaries on bbc4
though and i listen to radio 4 a lot

it's the comedy output that's really gone down the pan
though, bar a couple of the 6:30 radio shows, and they have
been going for donkeys. on bbc tv i can only think of
fleabag in recent years. all4 has some good ones but it's
still largely older content. seinfeld, father ted, peep
shiw, catastrophe, parks and recreation, community...

keep the licence fee, sack the head of light entertainment.
sliding scale of tax, free for the poor. one of the best
things about the bbc is the lack of adverts

I watch terrestrial tv. Though I often end up watching
repeats on Dave or E4. BBC 4 has some great stuff indeed.

Imagine Roger Wilco's disappointment upon discovering that
this thread isn't about Big Black Cock.

BBC4 is like BBC2 use to be like in the 1980's. Arts
programs, Natural history programs I can't fault. Secrets of
the museum is best thing for ages. Inside No 9 & Inspector
Montalbano are the only things I don't not miss. I detest
everyone of these contest programs on all channels.

I've previously noticed some people on social media saying
that the BBC is politically to the right - which I'm
guessing is a way of signalling fealty.
Nothing yet on whether such people are cheering this
defundment thingy.
Don't fuck with it. Leave it alone.

I only watch bbc4 now and again, the rest of it is like ITV
but for middle class people

I know for a fact they’re dropping over the airwaves TV
within the next decade. Watch the license fee go and be
replaced by £9.99 access to iPlayer.
