    @madaboutHolly @Lee_JM75 Who's watching this bad boy on Freeview channel 70 ,Horror, right now😁💩💩💩

    @piersmorgan It’s a Tory cut to a public service! Let’s not turn this into a BBC hate fest as Twitter seems to do at every opportunity. As a nation I believe we are willing to see an increase in the licence fee to subsidise those who are struggling, Freeview would still be most affordable TV.

    @PCarmichaelVO @NadineDorries BBC does NOT maintain Freeview network. That is Arqiva. BBC in partnership with other PSB broadcasters own Freeview. They, like other broadcaster pay carriage charges to Arqiva.

    @KentHC_WX The @metoffice didn't even extend the Yellow Alert for Fog until earlier this morning. I don't think they expected it to reach this far South? Slowing clearing from Medway, here now, but expect it to return later at sunset. TV signal on Freeview was unwatchable last night!

  • timalmond Tim Almond (@timalmond) reported

    @MattWWoolwich The BBC is already garbage, as is most of Freeview.

  • JoeBlog21 Joe Bloggs (@JoeBlog21) reported

    @PCarmichaelVO @NadineDorries It doesn't maintain the Freeview transmitter network on its own ya liar!

  • 85Aston Aston (@85Aston) reported

    @PCarmichaelVO Is the Freeview network the BBC as well? I thought that was Arqiva

  • carmadchris Chris (@carmadchris) reported from Hazlemere, England

    @LlamaBusiness @skytv Bailed on them last year, never looked back Unless you live in the sports channels, look at what you get for your £, then see what would be free on freeview/freesat & what is on other services like Netflix

  • MrSaffron Andrew Ferguson OBE (@MrSaffron) reported

    @c_newman2010 @ruskin147 Be interested in knowing how that works since would not work over freeview and means set-top box or app on tv needed and this will impact the elderly and poor most. Knock on effect cost to run freeview for itv/c4 increases meaning likely to go subscription too

  • IvyVic18 Figgy (@IvyVic18) reported

    @SueLamerton @susan1878 @BFinham So much on freeview that you won’t miss much 👍🏽 Iplayer fabulous. BBC Sounds brilliant too oh and World Service, the list goes on. I think bbc news crap but so what, there’s so much more to the BBC but as per, many have got distracted and turned against the entire broadcaster 🙄

  • BrokenTV Mark Gibbings-Jones (@BrokenTV) reported

    @GiNgEr_JaMeS Plus, it's a model that would remove BBC services from Freeview, a service used by... the elderly people with limited income that Dorries is claiming to be protecting.

  • steviexdavis stevied (@steviexdavis) reported

    @GBNEWS Needs to be. It's a disgrace we pay a licence fee not to watch the BBC but to watch all the other Freeview Channels. I never watch the BBC, so cancelled licence, now I Can't watch all the other channels.
