    @LewisJamesBrown I'd agree with that - keep more radio (hard to outreach places and one which really add value - R3) Gap with freeview used by people lower down the income scale needs addressing. Get the commercial arm to subsidise Radio and the TV channel (s).

    @RussInCheshire These set of stats don't even cover that the licence fee pays in to support the infrastructure to deliver the "other channels" including broadband roll-outs as well as being a founding force behind Freeview. #SaveOurBBC

  • mecafolidas Mark Foley (@mecafolidas) reported

    @MahyarTousi Do tell how you are going to move it to a subscription & how long that'd take? Freeview isn't compatible, broadband not in all parts of the UK etc etc. Radio? Only potential solution is advertising - huge hit to ITV etc. Note: Gov & BBC Trust blocked iPlayer expansion/sub in '09.

    @Fles__ @partnumber2 They wouldn't be destroying it. What are you afraid of? If the BBC is as good as you say it is, they'll have lots of subscribers, go global. For those that would prefer to save money and just use FreeView, why would you force them to pay for a service you want but they don't?

    @MrJohnNicolson @theSNP discussed how Sky would affect broadcasting in the UK. And he was fearful of Murdoch's influence. It killed off the original BSB idea with the little satellite dishes. A mini network of ITV channels though technically the latter sort've returned using Freeview/Sky's platform.

  • VinnieVonStarr1 Vinnie Von Starr (@VinnieVonStarr1) reported

    @1neilhallam @RussInCheshire They are prevented from watching them if they can't pay. What if all she has is a freeview TV with no facilities to play on-demand? Noone should be denied access to such a basic thing in the 21st century. Why do you support an extra tax that can easily be abolished?

  • DawnSpinks2 Dawn Spinks (@DawnSpinks2) reported

    @catherinerusse2 @Public_Campaign @NadineDorries Signed & RT'd! ✅ I only have Freeview channels so if we lost the BBC further down the the line I would lose a big chunk of my best viewing! Admittedly I could maybe use the licence money to buy something else...but is the quality of new content as good as the BBC?!🙄

  • kentindell Ken Tindell (@kentindell) reported

    @stephenkb @colinelves There’s a technical issue with existing Freeview (DVB-T2 as rolled out in the UK) equipment being used for content access. It’s impractical to turn conventional TV into pay TV. So it will have to be free to air plus top up TV via streaming and/or another box.

  • WanderingSadu Harry Mincherley (@WanderingSadu) reported

    @Trampolinecare @bantalols Yep. They don't watch Freeview stuff. Even the concept of having to sit down to watch stuff at a specific time is laughable to them.

    @Stanhope2011VJ the last time they said they would make cuts they said BBC Three tv channel and the Asian Network radio would be cut in the end, they only took BBC Three off Freeview but they didn't cut the Asian Network radio station
