if BBC want public funding so much, they should go subscription like all the other channels. with ther introduction of digital-ONLY tv in the next few yeafrs, it can easily be done. i can't beliebve it's mandatory to pay for BBC in the year 2007.

I don't watch that much TV and yet still have to pay my license for the times I do. I think this is unfair. I don't need to pay for a radio license or a computer license, so why should I have to pay for TV?

The licence fee also covers BBC radio, but I hardly listen to that either. We used to listen to Radio 1 in my old office and they played about ten different tracks repeated five or six times a day!

Radio 1 is absolute rubbish and the presenters are annoying.

I agree with that but my kids say that's just because I'm so old!!

I listen to Radio 1 at work; I used to love Jo Whiley's show but lately it's not so good. I don't like Chris Moyles' show at all. I used to love Spoony at weekends but he has now moved on. The show which replaced him (Reggie Yates and Fern Cotton) is terrible, like CBeebies on the radio!


I agree with Smurfy, that the same few tracks are played over and over again. That song about "I've had the same jeans on for 4 days now" is just soooooooo irritating! I think I will switch to Radio 2 and see what that is like.

Chris Moyles is one of the most annoying radio presenters I've ever heard. He thinks he's funny but just isn't.
