As the BBC therefore the licence payer owns around 50% the UKTV channels on satellite,what would they have to show these days they scrapped many of the age old comedies that we all loved from the 70/80/90's. UK Gold have flogged losw to death and many folk have subscribed to these channels just to watch losw,which explains why the BBC do not do reruns on the main channels,they want you to pay again to watch shows you have already paid for, in the meantime the main channels are full of rubbish, is this to twist your arm into subscribing to satellite channels
It could also be the reason they hold on to current DVD releases of losw, so they have something to show on UK Gold, as most of the other shows are already out on DVD it indicates to me that losw is the main reason for folk to subscribe
It does not bode well in the future as all they will have to show is cookery and makeover programmes. I personally no longer think the BBC should be entitled to the licence payers money, handed to them on a plate, they should have to fend for themselves in the commercial world, and actually work for the money, this I hope would force them into putting on shows that the viewers want,I realise this would mean adverts but with many PVR products on the market these days there is no need to watch an advert again, I have seen very few in the last 2 years and I can live without the endless sale for sofa and beds these companies have on, it seems that ITV 1 have actually made some effort to bring us the odd drama like Midsomer,Foyle,Lewis over the last year and the ITV have to work for their money,I would like to see your comments on this subject.
