@Ossyref I know but it’s not on Freeview. Not everyone has YouTube for TV or ability to watch on app. We ok as have Virgin but it’s still crap they ain’t showing it for others.

@KarmaUnc @GMB @joshwiddicombe Yes, but the BBC is a significant contributor to Arquiva who own the masts. They also support Freeview and Freesat.

@tTaseric The "enforcement" issue is astonishingly overblown. Also, you need the license to watch non-BBC channels but the license-fee also covers the maintaining and upkeep of Freeview services so those non-BBC channels can even be broadcast.

@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

Receiving any channels. They pick on the weak and less informed. Investigate that issue and the fact we have only a bit part service here in Teesside (depending on which bit of Teesside you live in) for example we ONLY get 9 BBC channels no ITV/C4/C5 and others via Freeview

Secondly, that ‘expensive’ licence fee does so much more than fund the BBC. It also part funds C4, it maintains the freeview network and the radio broadcast network, meaning that that £159/year or £13.25/month is doing a hell of a lot of work.

@DefundBBC For me it simply comes down to not being allowed to watch other channels without a t.v licence, these other channels do not benefit from the t.v licence, why can't I legally watch them? If it was legal there would be a Freeview box out tomorrow that would have BBC restricted.

@UKSpunkyMonkey @JustMark33 @GaryLineker Yes, that's because the BBC is non-excludable. Sky can turn your signal off very easily and do it all the time. How would the BBC stop you from listening to BBC Radio? Also most of the TV is on Freeview. I'm hearing lots of over-simplistic reasoning in this thread.

@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

@Aiannucci @Channel4 How is not forcing people to pay for a service they may not want 'coming for' ? What is your problem? A pensioner for example, may decide to save money and stick to Freeview. Why force them to pay for BBC. If BBC is great, then people will subscribe.

@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?

@Takethatjoe @darrengrimes_ Oh my god, how would our TV's ever work without Freeview 😱 After all,it's well known that in every other country where BBC-funded Freeview isn't available, TV broadcasting simply doesn't work.
