BBC deserve to be thrown under the bus.
I want them scrapped in every way.
Their purpose is not to waste money on junk shows, high paid staff, and threatening people for what is effectively extortion money.
BBC advertise on many channels in the UK nations every day, they put their reruns such as Emmerdale on W, and other shows on Gold, Dave, etc etc.
They advertise and sell their shows overseas.
The BBC may claim to rely on the tax that is the licence fee, but in reality they have a separate corporate arm that is run for profit of people's backs.
I stopped watching live TV a year and 4 months ago, cheaper to watch DVDs of shows I actually like. When I was watching TV before, BBC's schedule of Pointless, Doctors, Bargain Hunt, News with reminders every minute, and property shows, wasn't my cup of tea, so we didn't even watch the channels by the company we were forced to pay.
If their must be a licence fee, it ought to be shared out equally to all channels on views per hour, in my case the Horror and SyFy channels would get money instead. If BBC want the money, they would finally have to put something good on!
