Across all their national and local radio stations, their iplayer back catalogue and all the tv output they represent great value for money for the cost of the licence and I’m more than happy to pay for it.
Go and watch and listen to what’s on offer in some other countries like the USA as a comparison.

I never watch the bbc but have no objection to you or anyone else who enjoys seeing their license fee frittered away on the likes of Lineker and numerous other leeches, paying for it. I just get annoyed that everyone else is expected to subsidise your viewing habits.

I’ve just put in a complaint to the Bloated Broadcasting company.

Here is there response

Wow that’s really escalated. City’s files were just CAS 1 and CAS 2. Which the Guardian said was evidence of us treating the hearing as a military campaign

BBC Sport, based in Salford, not even mentioning last night’s achievements by City, is appalling. This means they must be absolutely sickened by City’s success. Bring it on, all next season too, make them hurt more.

It would be nice if we could do something to make them realise we don`t appreciate them being petty twats.

How childish this organisation is.
It's like getting ignored in the playground because you're the fastest runner or the best football player.
Absolutely pathetic.
Is there no City supporting MPs who could ask them about the blanking of the best football team in the world?

If no Leicester MP’s asked for the removal of head sport honcho Roan for his behaviour… and there was also no media pile-on, it’s doubtful that anything will change.
Even when Roan eventually goes, the bbc sport management ladder is awash with the same, it seems.

Do you think that Lineker deserves to be paid over £1,000,000 p.a. for an hour's work on a Saturday night?
Great value for money?

The boss and Erling both win UEFA awards today but sly and the bbc haven't even mentioned it.
If it was bingo, captain black or even back in the day, taggart, both companies would be kissing their arses over it.

We're barely a footnote in their CL reporting too, you'd hardly know we were the holders ffs.

The way they treat our club has gone way beyond a joke.

But as a club we are partly to blame. We simply don't appear to have a PR department. We have a very active 'social media' department, but when it comes to getting and putting out positive articles about our club into the press and other media outlets, we are absolutely none existent, and have been since the takeover. As much as we despise them, the rags and the scousers are truly light years ahead of us on this one. Our PR department is about as good as our ticket office.

I don't know, occasionally I'll record motd and fast forward to watch us on the pitch then delete.

When you add together the 2 experts it'll cost much more.

I seem to remember when they were all in strike it was deemed a better program by the public, that's probably the answer.

The rags and scousers have the BBC and a number of national newspapers as their PR department. It's not the club's themselves.
 
Aah the good old beeb or Auntie as we fondly know it. It’s impartial you know, that’s the rules not like state tv in other countries where it’s used to brainwash & control you……

What I don’t understand is why it gets involved in bias in sport unless it’s nationalism. I used to check the bbc as a kid as it dealt in facts over sensationalism but to alienate so many & make them mis-trust the organisation, basically means if they’ll lie or show bias about subjects I do understanding then why would I trust them about politics.

Media lens explains their bias in the news but you could almost compare it to City & the Rags. Maybe they’ve given up on the independent thinkers City & concentrate on the sheep Rags.

Chomsky once again demonstrates just how insightful he is in providing rational analysis of Western power and the suffering it generates. By contrast, anyone relying on BBC News receives a power-friendly view of the world, systematically distorted in a way that allows the state and private interests to pursue business as usual.

Why do people ALWAYS use lazy, bullshit comparisons to make a point?
I don't live in the USA, why should I care what their service is like?
It's simply not relevant to the discussion.

I just read the bbc article on Palmers deal. I’ve no idea what he’s earning as they haven’t even guessed & multiplied by the term of his 7 year contract.
 
Just sent this to the BBC. I don't normally do complaints but the lack of coverage of the awards is breathtaking. Name me the last time a british manager and player won both awards?
It's futile, I know. I was careful not to mention naming us or the winners.

Yesterday, at the UEFA Champions league draw, they also awarded the men and women's Ballon Dor accolades which you normally report on. This was an occasion to be celebrated as an English team's Manager and player won both men's awards. It was a compliment to the EPL and affirmation that it is the best in the world - but you chose to ignore this. You are carrying the fantastic speech by the womens coach. Just for once, the client journalists in your sports department, could have put their petty jealousy aside and actually done their job for once. I presume it is down to previous association. Your /our facilities should not be used for personal agendas. It is not he first time. This is indicative of your political coverage. I'm sure you don't realise how low your organisation has fallen in the public's estimation, but you have to realise that a couple of natural history programmes and the odd comedy, don't make a public broadcaster.

I doubt it. From the nonsense they all come out with, it seems the office grunts do their research for them on squawk and rag cafe.

If you actually think what Lineker says about us on MOTD vaguely resembles what is written about us on RAWK then you are truly beyond help!
