TV licensing should definitely be abolished. If all the other program companies can survive with using advertising then i'm pretty damn sure that the BBC can too.
£145 a year is just extortionate and they still keep putting the price up every year and for what?

Conservative, totalitarian pigs!!!

Once upon a time, I thought the BBC gave good value - but with all the other channels on TV & radio, it really is now a dinosaur. We hardly watch or listen to the BBC these days, the quality is very questionable.

I once didn't have enough to buy a licence. Someone came round and told me that as long as there was video receiving equipment (even tho all we were watching were videos at the time), we still had to pay. The fact that we watched videos more than anything back then was irrelevant.

Scrap the licence - maybe charge pay per view or something. Or at least vastly improve the services and especially the programmes - "Saturday night - a great reason to stay in" - give me a break!

Dont help the rubbish BBC dont pay TV Licence all they do is repeats on there any ways. I've got go to court cause been found out when I go in court I am having my say and hope I get on the news cause its so not right at all its only for the BBC to help pay there staff ect so whats the point no one gets the freedom as well cause most us dont watch BBC, I've not watched anything on there for ages as it all rubbish.

why do we have to pay for programmes we do not even watch

Why should I pay 145 quid a year for the BBC I dont even watch any of their programs or list, thien to any of their radio shows this is a total joke, the licence fee needs to go!

Why should we pay to watch crap. We have to buy the tv's, DVD's free equipmetn etc so why then do we have to pay to watch what we

Ancient outdated and completely wrong, everything else has progressed why not this? BBC too used to the massive handout

BBC should be a subscription service, then it gives consumers the choice. I personally would be happy not to subscribe to it and watch any of the many other free channels.

The true operating costs of the BBC would also be a little less if it's staff wasn't over paid.

ROBBERS, THIEVES AND DOWNRIGHT DIABOLICAL. The tv licvence is unjust & unfair Abolish it now!!!! Re-runs repeats and 10 year old movies which you can buy for a pound or less. we pay for sky tv that provides service. What does the bbc offer? Nothing , jack squat. Do you know of any other country that pays a licence fee to watch tv? end it now!!!!!! NO FEE & QUALITY TV. GO ITV!!!!!!

tv is pants
