In answer to matt paul I do much preferred to the screaming morons and annoying over loud adverts on independant so called radio

So seeing as their budget has been cut, do we get a discount on our licence fee? makes you wonder where that 2 billion is going now...

So because of the phone scams with Red Nose Day and Children In Need the managers stay but the staff take the blame.

We all know it's because of the above it's really nothing to do with loss of £2 mill from a normal stand point it's because of the scam.

No matter ITV, C4 & C5 may snap up the staff or maybe Virgin Media. And to think they're doing another Children In Need this year will they ever learn.

And I agree fund yourselves cause your programs suck there always repeats on all channels BB1,2,3 & 4.

So the staff got the sack then wink wink

with 2500 staff and television centre gone the BBC will never recover. The BBC used to be best in the world, I don't think it ever will be again.... At least the inq will never change

It's time the BBC started funding itself instead of the government allowing it to continue taxing the British public to watch mediocre programming. 
Maybe if they had to self fund, like the other channels do, then they would be forced to produce better shows or go under.

And we know that their science and technology reporting will continue to be utterly horrible and controlled by the politically correct pansy boys in management. Who havent been fired yet.

How, with £135 a year from practically every person in the country, have the BBC not managed to sustain 5 tv channels and a dozen radio stations? Sounds even less efficient than local councils. Axe non-commercial local radio, who listens to that anyway?
