  @brownboots23 @stevehemsley @NadineDorries So how do we provide such things as disability programming, Welsh language broadcasting, maintain the Freeview transmitter network (used largely by the elderly and poor) and provide educational resources? These don’t generate profit. Ready when you are.

  @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.

  I only deal with news about Freeview and Virgin Media UK. (And the soon to launch Virgin Media IPTV Network).

  @mrjamesob The entire freeview system, built and maintained by the BBC. The radio we listen to all over the world, Parts of the emergency broadcast system. The massive international footprint made by the BBC, creating huge goodwill for Britian. All destroyed because of these petulant liars.

  @jedijackles This will also mean the loss of a bunch of freeview channels that you get access to by buying a tv license and getting freeview with it, because they can’t be privatised in the same way, so that would also be really bad for the arts and culture sector :(

  @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.

  @williambecket @NadineDorries So you’ll be happy for these pensioners to pay a separate broadcasting tax to maintain the Freeview transmitter network? That’s MILLIONS each year. None of the programming they recognise of course.

  @williambecket @NadineDorries Hi William. The most popular way for pensioners to receive TV is via Freeview. The licence fee pays to maintain the Freeview transmitter network. Presumably this “pay rise” for pensioners can then pay for this?

  @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

  If the govt wants costs to be paid for pensioners and the unemployed, put it in general taxation. So most people will still have to pay for it, but won't be able to moan about it being poor value for money. Also would preserve Freeview and radio, which are apparently popular.
