Jim Graham Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Why can,t the BBC be like other channels, i.e. you pay a subscription if you want to watch it. Most of the programmes are repeats and they could then invite advertisers to fund new shows, dramas etc. Whilst I am no fan of the BBC and being forced to pay for their left leaning views and their overpaid staff they do provide quality programmes that you wouldn't get if advertisers paid for the programmes. You only have to look at the endless reality TV dross served up on ITV and Five to see what the BBC would turn into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murphy Jnr Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Why do you need to know if I am on benefit ? Because the OP has run its course and benefit rants are always a second option, that or housing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janie48 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Should people on the BBC , payed by the tax payer, who want not only to read the news or the weather also want to earn extra money as so " called celebrities ", should they become celebrities and give up the tax payer job or put their extra earnings come back to the tax payer or should they be sacked ?. Which celebrity news readers are are you referring to that are on the BBC? I can only think of Chris Hollins who won Strictly come Dancing,and a few ex newsreaders who have been on reality tv shows.Who are the others?
