Quite ironic that the hardest hit will be older people who still use FM/MW radios, when they have just made the over 75's buy a licence.......

Nailed it Becky.

So the BBC spends £80m on BB3 for the youf who don't watch it anyway and in order to save money they cancel Test Match Special on Radio 4 etc. bad news if you listen on radio.

This about sums up the new DG. When he announced that the BBC would produce more diverse programmes and had special departments to ensure this it was pointed out that there was nothing for the elderly.

He responded that the BBC did not target the elderly as an audience, and there you have it. Piss off your loyal clients whilst you chase after groups who aren't interested.

Winter is coming.

Received a letter today telling me I have a TV licence visit scheduled for early June.

I'm looking forward to it.

I hope you don't let them in and make sure you film them for your own security.

I love the video of the TV Licence man complaining and demanding the household stop filming.

Just watching BBC world news and one reporter with three other people around the table - reporter is anti conservative, one guest is pro and the other two are anti.
One is Stephanie Baker - a bloody American for goodness sake who is so left wing she must have trouble driving straight!
Why do they do it - just biased in every way and not for the right!
I only want straight reporting - is that too much to ask for?

Whilst I sympathise, I have to ask why you bothered even listening to them? What did you actually expect to hear? Come on, lets be realistic. The BBC is part of the enemy.

Fair play. Better stick with the eye candy on all the Italian game shows.
