Has anyone told TV ...
 

[Closed] Has anyone told TV Licensing that they don't need a TV licence ?

I guess if you like soccer, gameshows and watching people cook it's great.

What about the other 8 BBC TV channels? Maybe you should flip over to BBC4 if BBC1 is cerebral enough for you, plenty of interesting stuff on there.

As I said earlier, how many hours of Strictly or Eastenders do they make vs Horizon, or how many hours of Horizon could they make for the cost of an episode of Strictly?

Yes there is quality content on BBC 4 but there is also massive repetition and it represents a fraction of the output, and a fraction of the expenditure. Documentaries featuring talking heads and archive footage or lone scientists walking through fields cost a pittance compared to live studio "star studded entertainment".

Its[BBC 4] also not on tv its internet based only iirc

Clearly the BBC , and it is one of its strengths, will do programmes from the proms to pop and from documentary to soaps

No one is going to like all of its output s it makes programmes for everyone not just programmes where they get good advert revenue.

Maybe you needed a more explicit reply then - they could make approximately -5 hours of Horizon for the cost of an episode of Strictly...

I think you're getting confused with BBC3; BBC4 is still broadcast. Though I'm not sure that's all that relevant anyway - surely for most people on here it's just as easy to watch iPlayer as broadcast TV (and the licensing requirements are the same now).
