I must admit to generally being in favour of the BBC Licence as a way of funding the Beeb, although it is admittedly a pain when the direct debit comes round.
But from conversations with others, I have only fairly recently discovered just how much resentment there is among a lot of people in paying for a Corporation whose broadcasts they hardly ever use, if at all. And that has caused me to re-appraise my opinion.
I personally wouldn't wish to see the BBC be privatised and become just another commercial TV/Radio company.
Is it time for the BBC to be funded directly from the Treasury? Or to start featuring adverts and product placements? or to continue as it is?
A lot of people accuse it of bias, but to me it always seems to be very objective in its reporting of news and affairs, as much as there is such a thing as objective truth, of course.
What are the views of others on here?
