    @Phil_Nourse @colinshone2 And the people said I’ll watch freeview and then said, well that wasn’t so bad and decided to cancel their virgin bloody broadband and moved to Sky on a better deal than £80 per month and now pay £49. That’s what we did 😁

    @BBCNews I for one won't be retuning my Freeview for this crap.

  • VictorOlliver Victor Olliver (@VictorOlliver) reported from Sompting, England

    Watching Ideal World on Freeview ch 51. Peter Simon still flogging stuff you never knew you needed. Exercise freak is advertising a vibrating machine and he has varicose veins. Much preferred Simon on Bid TV where he was allowed to go bonkers. He looks fitter now tho, relatively.

  • Chris_Stone1970 Long Scarf Publications - Charity books r us! (@Chris_Stone1970) reported

    @cal_on_demand @kkbigk @OwenJones84 A marginal market at most. What about educational TV? Minority output like Welsh language programmes? Who would finance the freeview transmitters maintenance? Local news? Non-commerical radio? BBC website? World Service?

  • 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?

  • JAtaska Jack Ataska (@JAtaska) reported

    @RevRichardColes @carlistyping The BBC gets 86% of licence fee revenue. So we could drastically reduce the fee people are strong armed into paying if they were self funded. Or at least give people the option not to fund the BBC whilst keeping other Freeview Channels. Make the BBC a subscription service 👍

  • Truth_Aint_Real The_Truth_Doesnt_Matter (@Truth_Aint_Real) reported

    @PCarmichaelVO @NadineDorries And there lies the problem, very few people speak Welsh/Gaelic and yet millions is poured into it, not value for money. It's not freeview if we are paying a licence fee for it.

  • MagnusBiker1 67MJR (@MagnusBiker1) reported

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

  • JezParton Jez Parton (@JezParton) reported

    @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.

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • devonseaglass ian (@devonseaglass) reported

    @nw_nicholas BBC 3 went online only, BBC2 is an overflow for BBC1 and BBC4 is an archive channel. I hardly ever turn the TV on as Freeview is mainly a catch-up service for ITV and Channel 4 with BBC repeats ad nauseum.

  • am_henderson Al Henderson (@am_henderson) reported

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