[why me? Blue Manchester]

Don’t mind the odd quiz show but yes to all the rest, the amount of times I’ve watched “normal” tv in the last year is probably less than a dozen.

Yes, not often I watch mainstream TV anymore as its a load of shite
The odd boxset and movies for me now

 

[Newman Noggs]

Hahah what is this shit?

Written by students, believed by imbeciles, reported by shills.

Those in receipt of Pension Credit on a low income are still eligible. Whilst the salaries of those you mention may well be obscene, they are in line with what other broadcasters pay their stars.

The number of pensioners eligible for pension credit will be insignificant because the BBC wouldn't support it otherwise and broadcasters who make money from advertising are entitled to pay what they wish. As someone who isn't entitled to pension credit I find it ridiculous having to pay for something I rarely watch because I sometimes watch live football on other channels.

 

[Gingers Dad]

It is no part of the remit of the BBC to match salaries in the private sector. The argument that the most talented would desert the BBC is specious: (a) So what? (b) There are thousands of talented people who would be delighted to get a job at the BBC at far lower salaries than are paid now.

BBC pay Vanessa Feltz north of 400k a year

That's a lot of Pringles?

And they've just criminalised abortion. Not the most forward facing nation.

Can't think of a much bigger limit to a womans human rights than this.

Full report on livarpools match vs leipzig on BBC, not even a mention of our tour or matches in the US. Joke organisation, the sooner its privatised the better.

Jesus christ, that's ridiculous, what a waste of money.

Who the fuck is she?

Soaps, Talent Shows, Reality, Quiz after Quiz, bloody Ant & Dec - what happened to proper entertainment?

Those 'entertainment' shows cost a fraction to make than does quality drama or suchlike. Also sadly, what the masses seem to crave nowadays too.

Do the masses crave it or do the BBC think the masses crave it.

Not just the BBC. Look at the followings for "reality (sic)" shows on other channels

And you think that will improve things?

Not sure if you have heard of Chris Stirewalt, he was the political editor on Fox News that correctly predicted the result of the presidential election in Arizona before any other news agency.. It angered the viewers of Fox and as a public company, that's all that matters, so he was fired less than 2 months later. The BBC is privatized and negative City reporting will go through the roof because that's what will drive viewership....

 

[cheekybids]

Doesn’t help when a so called City fan and a so called City reporter are happy to share this smear campaign
Of course the US-owned Athletic will be happy to continue pushing the narrative that white American ownership is good but brown Arab ownership is bad

At least I won't be paying for it. At present I pay for it as its supposedly our national broadcaster. Once it's private I won't be bothered whether it's full on manutv.

It's actually a picture taken yesterday outside old trafford.

They've just had a big clean up and vastly improved the area by dredging up dozens of old mouldering knotted socks covered in red paint.

 

[Rochdale Blue]

So at what level does this start at-cleaner, catering assistant, production assistant? What your suggesting is a nonsense, my wife is an exec at the BBC if the salary wasn't commensurate to the industry she wouldn't be there.

At the rate people are cancelling their licences, there's no guarantee she will be there much longer.

always thought Sam Lee was a red?

 

[J.G.Blue.]

I must be the only person in UK who has never seen Eastenders. Hate those soaps.

The only time I have ever seen it by mistake while searching for something to watch, it just looked to be very ugly people in loads of make up shouting YOU SLAAAAG! at each other in a cockerney accent. (& that was just the blokes)

 

[Kazzydeyna]

Sam Lee is a wankstain.

I have a wankstain on my duvet cover that vehemently objects to this scurrilous comparison.
On behalf of wankstains everywhere I demand you take it back.
