    @BoostTorbay @AndrewBrazier1 Never used the first two options. Very much old school. None of the fancy pants Sky or Virgin Media either. Just plain old Freeview for me

    @Ian_gm_F @bbcpress You conveniently forgot to mention the radio stations, world service, website with free access to a whole range of educational resources for children, funding and upkeep of freeview infrastructure

  • mergwaines al 🌻 hbd cait! (@mergwaines) reported

    @jedijackles This will also mean the loss of a bunch of freeview channels that you get access to by buying a tv license and getting freeview with it, because they can’t be privatised in the same way, so that would also be really bad for the arts and culture sector :(

  • davidkeatsuk David Keats (@davidkeatsuk) reported

    @Marc_Burrows @scottygb I mean, yes, but their thinking isn’t having the BBC on freeview. They want a new way to pay for the BBC. So if the BBC’s ends up paying for its freeview space as it was no longer a public broadcaster - the BBC might commercially decide to no longer be a service for all.Disaster

  • 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!

  • PCarmichaelVO Paul Carmichael (@PCarmichaelVO) reported

    @d0hertyry4n @wilsonfromnorth @NadineDorries The point is that these are educational resources that are free to schools and colleges, OFSTED approved and inline with the National curriculum. The transmitters carry all channels. Freeview is how the elderly and poor access TV.

  • MikeAyriss Mike Ayriss (@MikeAyriss) reported

    @PCarmichaelVO @PumaBare A review of funding could, for example look at maintaining Freeview network by all broadcasters that use it paying a fee. Incidentally, how much should the BBC be providing? It's channels have proliferated. Personally, I don't mind the licence fee but I'd support a full review.

  • macmeonly buggrit (@macmeonly) reported

    @PCarmichaelVO @NadineDorries They don't maintain the freeview network. It's a joint enterprise with ITV and Chanel 4. Plus it makes money from adverts.

  • WohYeahWohYeah Steve Soogray 🇬🇧🏳️‍🌈😷💉 (@WohYeahWohYeah) reported

    @CalElcombe @zsk And what happens to the national broadcasting infrastructure when it's not being paid for anymore? No Freeview for starters. If a transmitters fails no-one will fix it too.

  • gsydom Dominic Wheatley (@gsydom) reported

    @PCarmichaelVO @NadineDorries BBC does not own / fund Freeview network. Public subsidy of minority programming should continue but does not require a licence fee tax. BBC does not need to be for profit but no-one should be forced to buy its generally poor mainstream programming.

  • 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?
