Default Re: Is our TV license fee being spent well ?

Hence why I detuned my tv and quit paying my licence! Well... more because there was nothing on rather than a misspelling.

Canada never had one. The CBC is paid for out of your taxes, whether you watch/listen to it or not!

(it's almost preferable just to avoid having to endure the borderline thuggery of the threatening and smug TV licence adverts)

What I want to know is due to the amount of repeats [Approx 50%] is can they just recycle 50% of the fee I paid last year?

More importantly, how much they make from BBC America/Canada/etc which are paid cable TV channels.

Go to the BBC America website, there's banner ads for other stuff (Battlestar Galactica Online) too. And for gawd's sake, don't read their 'Anglophenia' blog without a barf bag at the ready.
