@Fern_McGovern @SIofting @jckhth Nope. You can pay for a better service. Just as you can have Freeview TV, standard channels, most in standard definition but functional, or you can pay more for Netflix/Amazon/etc, Sky or BT with movies and sport in HD. Same principle applies.

@AudsDisease @SkyNews Do you listen to the radio? Or perhaps watch Freeview? The BBC help maintain the Freeview network.

@mitchyj_ @sophielouisecc No it's not. It provides far more than ITV, for example. What funds the Freeview +transmission network (which many pensioners use to access TV). That's right, the BBC licence fee.

@gro_edu @COYR26 @DeborahMeaden Liar. Freeview is jointly owned by all the main broadcasters including Sky and the network is operated by another company.

@PCarmichaelVO @NadineDorries If you want Welsh language programming pay for it yourself. The BBC's educational output is dumbed down drivel. Freeview is an obsolete technology which ties up bandwidth to show Dave Ja Vu.

Tweeters saying #BBCLicenceFee helping maintaining #Freeview. Well come to Teesside and we'll show you how it doesn't maintain Jack ****. Our Blisdale Transmitter burnt down August 10th 2021 & we've only this month got patchy service some still have zero. Maintained my arse

@FunkyA1ien @boxinglyf @GaryLineker Because you're not paying for the BBC, you're a lot of the money goes to the network and various other things, including Freeview, Freesat and the UK broadband network. You can watch ITV and Channel4 on their on Demand services without a TV licence. And it's still a choice.

@PCarmichaelVO @NadineDorries In Teesside August 10th 2021 we lost our only Freeview transmitter to a fire. 1 million homes lost its Freeview. Only last week have people got a patchy service back, just BBC some areas have still no signal. 4 months no FreeviewTv. Tell me BBC r doing a good job maintaining mast

@williamnhutton You happy for the sums the BBC is paying too its stars?? Maybe the BBC needs to cut down its Daytime offering. Just make it Subscription based.. If u want to pay U do. If u dont then U dont & have no access to BBC Content. ITV, Ch4 then all truly "Freeview"
