I don't think you realise how much more the BBC does other than broadcasting live TV and iPlayer.

I'm quite aware of its investments in freeview and broadcasting as a whole.

May I add that ITV also contributes to freeview, as well as both of the company's work in FreeSat and YouView.

Please don't patronise me.

Remember that those who want it privatised on here don't understand the subject anyway.

Certainly come across that way anyway

lol. I understand it all right and I want it privatised. For me it's a welcomed tax cut!

I think you'll find it does a whole lot more outside of the broadcasting industry, if I were you I would go and look it up.

Yes, I'm quite aware. Nothing nobody else is capable of!

I take it you also approve of everything Thatcher privatised then.

I would be much more interested in a university fee cut than a privatised BBC. Do you watch any BBC programs, listen to any BBC radio shows at all? Or are you going to pretend you don't have ANYTHING to do with it?

I don't actually, frankly I give the woman credit for making good of a bad situation, but the long-term effects have been these awful council estates and the loss of most industrialisation in Britain. I also disapprove of the fee's rise which you try and make out I love.

And yes, I do watch the BBC nearly 100% of the time when watching television and use the iPlayer loads. Although I still don't see why we should pay for it. It should be able to fund itself with advert revenue like ITV and the various other channels. Especially at a time when families are hard-up and struggling to meet the cost of living in some cases.

It is far far too big to get funded by adverts alone..

It isn't live ITV or various other channels. It does more than TV, how do you suggest EVERYTHING is funded? Common sense shows it simply won't work..

That's unfair on all the other TV stations then surely? We don't subsidise them so they can become bigger.

And the BBC would obviously get other means of funding, through program sponsorship, international profits, television adverts, game shows (with those £1 text competitions, etc) and allocating funding on a cost-effective basis rather than wasting huge amounts on BBC proms.

Life is unfair.

However, the fact is all the growth has already happened - once you have that growth and expansion you cannot suddenly stop your source of income - that is common knowledge.

Evidently those £1 text competitions already happen, so clearly they already use those and there are only so many they can use.

The BBC aren't allowed to use them unless they're for charity.

And yes, you're right, the income can't just stop. I'm not saying it should. If it were to be privatised if would need restructuring and shrank.

But clearly it can be done, that is also 'common knowledge'.

I wish you wouldn't try and demote my intelligence in your arguments.
