    @andrew_wauchope @guardian So you don't think disability programming is a vital service? What about the freeview network?

  • Evilgenius222 GrouchyMarxist (@Evilgenius222) reported

    @mrdanwalker I look every evening on my Freeview app. Apart from war films, programmes about America & Australia, rich peoples hotels or stupid programmes about rich kids dating each other, there’s nothing on.

    @SPENCE_JOHN @zsk Because if they really are so poor (let's assume) they will be watching freeview, who do you expect to pay for the massive infrastructure. Why would a private company pay for it when they would get nothing back, as its "free" "viewing"

  • chrisbardell Chris Bardell (@chrisbardell) reported

    @JoshHarris91 @davidschneider Explain how subscription service will work with Freeview.

  • Brekkietweets Brekkie (@Brekkietweets) reported

    @ledredman @jeremybear123 @JolyonMaugham There is a false narrative that Freeview can be phased out. Anyone who has watched anything live on Amazon or ITV Hub can tell you internet broadcasting is not up to scratch. Selling spectrum so people can watch shows on phones at expense of watching in HD on TV is just stupid.

    @d0hertyry4n @NadineDorries Hmm. So the issue is you don’t actually know what the BBC does. As I say, maintaining transmitter masts for Freeview, educational resources every school and college uses, making programming for the disabled community…those things don’t matter?

  • PCarmichaelVO Paul Carmichael (@PCarmichaelVO) reported

    @thenoikz @NadineDorries The problem is the services rhe provide that the disabled would have nothing without, the educational resources schools wouldn’t have, the fact that Freeview transmitters wouldn’t be maintained and the lack of Welsh/Gaelic language services. All “not your problem” though, eh?

  • philthiselton Phil T. (@philthiselton) reported

    "Making the BBC a paid-for subscription service similar to Netflix is difficult due to the widespread popularity of broadcast radio and Freeview television services, which cannot be put behind a paywall." Er, they absolutely can and I hope they are!

  • brundellfilimou Mike Benjamin (@brundellfilimou) reported

    @talkRADIO The ignorance surrounding the model for the bbc is astounding. The biggest issue people have seems to be with bbc news. There is no news stations in the uk that are subscription only, even sky news is on freeview. In addition it is not technically possible for radio stations

  • gro_edu EduGro.Club (@gro_edu) reported

    @COYR26 @DeborahMeaden because without the BBC you wouldn't be able to watch the other free to air channels. The BBC run the whole Freeview service they depend on.
