All these people saying the don't want to pay a Licence fee for Channels they never watch, or a Radio station they never listen to, but are quite happy to pay £35 a month for Sky, that'll have `x` number of channels they won't watch.

Why not give Sky a call and demand a discount cos you don't watch 31 out of 64 channels available?

Plus all those who bemoan the licence fee will of course never have been to a live music event hosted by the BBC then? Radio 1's big weekend for example? Never ever listen to ANY Radio station by the BBC? I guess they don't watch Top Gear either?

Oh wait....... the watch it online instead. BBC Iplayer? Plus the program isn't made for free. So while you enjoy watching it online (stating you don't need a licence) remember, that without it, you wouldn't be watching Top Gear online or anywhere elase for that matter.

The point is you have the CHOICE to pay for entertainment you want not have it a legal obligation to do so. Why cant you grasp that? If it was an essential service life the Fire, Police etc then it's understandable.

I'm given the choice whether i pay Sky or not.

As is the deal when you signed a contract with a company, I have agreed to pay for all these channels whether i watch them or not at my won descrestion

I try my best not to listen to BBC radio due to reasons given on this thread and others. I would happily have the ability to listen to BBC Radio removed from my head unit and for that matter my TV.
Never been to a Live Music Event hosted by BBC either
Don't watch TopGear as its just repeats at the moment and to be quite frank i wouldn't miss it as its turned into a dose of ****e

I have never used Iplayer in my puff as the BBC don't product programmes i'm interested in anymore.

Now is my TV License of £12 a month justified?

How would you like it if i charged you £144 for the rights to read this post whether or not you actually read it as it is accessible from your computer and you had no say in the matter?
