    @grok @pjdcums @Heccles94 Bit of a problem for you. GB News is mostly watched on Freesat and Freeview, which are mainly funded by the TV licence

  • synapticwisdom wisdom (@synapticwisdom) reported

    @GBPolitcs @Telegraph The new internet version of Freeview - Freely... I think it asks you to sign in if you want to watch ITV or Channel 5. So if that's the future direction of TV then if you didn't want BBC you could just not sign in. If you do want it you sign in and pay the licence for a year?
