Trouble is, just turning it into another commercial channel will destroy the BBC. You don't get programs like Planet Earth on commercial TV. You get shite like reality TV. Cheap to put on lowest common denominator ratings chasers. Reality TV on the BBC www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/formats/reality/allI watch Tipping Point, and then The Chase. That's about it. If I watch anything else, it's normally channel 12. So I don't do reality TV because I agree, it's crap, and I don't watch Planet Earth. The thing is, the BBC worked and was ok when we had 3 channels, or maybe 4. But now we have hundreds and I believe Licence numbers are now falling because the younger generation don't watch TV, they're into such streaming services as Netflicks. I don't watch TV because I view YouTube instead, I prefer to watch and learn programmes on demand. My TV days have long gone. If the BBC is value for money, and/or it appeals to the masses, then it would survive on subscription. So why are the viewing numbers falling? Because of the reasons you mention. Reduce its funding and you reduce the quality of its output though. Another great British institution down the plughole. |

Dunno, but I doubt that the world will stop turning if they ain't. |

Well, you have to determine it's quality of output, it's subjective and so much so, I don't watch BBC because it's shite. |
