Where did I state that BBC’s programming was great? I stated that the license fee was great value and that is nowhere near the same thing. In that the bulk of the money raised by the license fee goes to fund the BBC in part.
I enjoy listening to BBC Radio 2 or Radio Lancashire during the day and TV during the evenings. I like many of the programmes on all BBC TV channels but I accept that one man’s meat is another man’s poison.
If there were no BBC or it went fully funded by adverts we would still have to pay the license fee to view TV no matter which stations we view.
