KMJ Derby , Only in your opinion about BBC 4 , it is excellent for music & rockumentries, never watched BBC 3 . BBC 1+1 is a waste of money as all those programmes can be PVR `ed or watched on i player.

The BBC should be trying to save money ,& not waste it on a 1+1 channel , they are financed from a TV tax ,& are a public service broadcaster . If people are desperate to to watch a programme ,then apart from normal recording means & iplayer, they can watch various repeats of those programmes ,through the week ,month or year ,or buy the DVD . Commercial broadcaster ,as the name implies ,have +1 channels ,but if the BBC do this ,then the rest of the tv output should be on subscription ,& the licence abolished .

Ok , but a lot of those programmes are not even BBC productions , they are commissioned from Independents or ITV /STV ,who could make them & show them on their own channels or Chan 4 ,5 or Sky .I don`t think the license fee will be here in 10 years time , other means must be found like pay per view etc.

Braintist , BBC 2 ,should not become some ethnic getto channel ,its as good as BBC 4 . I went to this Indian chap, who I know , house a few weeks back, & all the tv they seemed to watch came direct on the satellite, from you guessed it , India , Star tv I think it was .They don`t listen to Asian network either .

In yoof speak , I am def glad BBC 3 is getting the chop or going online , they have E4 & ITV 2 ,as well as various Sky programmes . The BBC does`t need to cater for everyone in the country , & those yoof, don`t watch regional news either . The Scottish , NI ,& Wales can have their regional news at 7 pm ,instead of the One Show . They already `opt out of various English shows ,on a very regular basis ,so one more is not a problem .They will still be able to watch One Show on line or satellite ,if not already tuned to. an `English ` transmitter.Also scrap Asian Network , & 1 extra ,already served by commercial radio , & give them some licence fee to take over making those former stations programmes. As I said the BBC doesn`t have to do everything & shouldn`t.

The BBC ,should go subscription , the licence fee is out of date ,its a tax ,& there should be `No taxation without representation `. The BBC is anti democratic in, its constant left wing news bias, its just a mouth piece of the Labour Party , Guardian views of the news .A bloody disgrace .

In a nutshell , If I want to buy the Guardian , I`ll buy the Guardian ,likewise if I want to buy the Mail , I`ll buy it ,not forced to pay for something I`ll don`t want to .If subscription came in ,I would only pay for BBC 2 & 4 only. With regards to sports rights , the sporting bodies are all commercial organisations ,& sports rights should be sold to commercial tv companies who bid the highest price .The BBC should not bother ,& the production is not really BBC anymore ,in the sport they show . The crews are freelance & they work for ITV, SKY , BT,as well as BBC . The outside broadcast equipment come from people like SIS live , who work for everyone else too. About the news biased read biasedbbc.org if you don`t believe it .
