A subscription model would work. That's where all the best content is coming from.

Absolutely no need to have a tax-funded state broadcaster spouting propaganda on behalf of all the leftists and antisemites.

What do you think about BBC World Service and website and soft power? The BBC has always been the most effective branch of the Foreign Office. Ensuring most of the planet are culturally aligned and warm to us, as opposed to China or the US

I don't think sacking the person helping to show the world their dishonesty would be a good look.

It's a bit like when Putin's opponents suddenly want to inspect the outside of their 5th floor windows.

His huge conflicts of interest aside, I don't think this is a much better look.

So nothing recorded on any Sky channels or anything like that? No live sport ever? I have to admit, that would be incredibly difficult to do.

Either way, that's not how it should work. The BBC shouldn't be able to tax me for watching someone else's content delivered over someone else's distribution system. We should all be free to choose if we want to pay to watch the BBC's propaganda, just like we can starve GB News of it's advertising revenue or refuse to pay for Sky News's content.

We are.

Are you ok with the concept of On Demand?.

Incredibly difficult ha ha.

If you are a sports lover...of course its difficult, as you want to watch it live.

Btw they're giving you the (their) radio for nowt.

Turns out they made a similar edit on Newsnight. If the leaks keep dripping slowly enough, the entire senior management team might have to resign.

Yep - they should absolutely clear out all of Boris Johnson's political appointees and promote a new generation of professional journalists who have cut their teeth in the regions and on radio. Like always happened pre-2010.
