[Margaret Pilkington]

I never listen to the radio.(well except when we are in the car...it is forced upon my ears then)
I think that the BBC have politicised many programs....and they have downright spoiled many of them by trying to make them cutting edge....Dickens would be spinning in his grave st what they did to A Christmas Carol.
Jen, the Beeb have got used to having this huge pot of money to splash about....they have never really had to budget.
How are the folk like the irritating Gary Lineker worth the salaries that they are paid....and the Beeb encourage these folk to avoid paying tax on their wages.
No, get rid of the licence make them look at other ways of funding...subscription, commercial sponsors.....or just making programs to sell to other channels.
Maybe then they would behave differently.
