    @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.

  • ukLibertoryan Libertoryan (@ukLibertoryan) reported

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

  • MarkFCooke Mark Cooke (@MarkFCooke) reported

    @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.

  • MattSnarky Meh.. (@MattSnarky) reported

    @Scrumpydude1 @jamiebglover How do you think the broadcast network that Freeview runs on gets paid for? All those transmitters that still need to be operated and maintained?

  • am_henderson Al Henderson (@am_henderson) reported

    @tafallen Don't they also maintain the freeview transmitter network?

  • dougmcfarlane41 Douglas Mcfarlane (@dougmcfarlane41) reported

    @mrdanwalker Of the Freeview TV transmitter network. 4 months and only on January 5th did we get 9 out of the 220+ channels back, conveniently all BBC NO ITV/C4/C5 etc but it's the North East so expect the southern centric BBC not to be too fussed, you only cover the stories you wish so not

  • MrsNettles118 Catherine (@MrsNettles118) reported

    @PaulAllenSK1 @BettinaSRoss1 @jackalsbynight Even if you never watch the BBC you still benefit from its existence. As long it supplies services for free, subscriptions to others have to be kept affordable. Innovation & training are also important. How do you think Freeview came about? Certainly not from commercial companies

  • Atkinson2Emma Emma Atkinson (@Atkinson2Emma) reported

    @MartinSLewis Alternatives to the TV licence were looked at a few years ago. I was told Freeview will shut down in a few years. How would we handle a COVID outbreak without a national broadcaster and only Internet/Cable subs? What happens to the stuff BBC runs under the hood?

  • Gus_preston Gus (@Gus_preston) reported

    @Michael37822549 @ChrisMousse3 @JuliaHB1 So you're happy paying a licence fee if it gets spent on other things than just the BBC? What about the support of the Freeview network that allows free-to-air TV to he broadcast. Or the broadband roll-out. Or SC4? That's not a Welsh language station.

    @zsk You'd get **** loads more on Freeview or FreeSat for.... free.
