Loose women conspiracy

Does anyone else find it a bit strange that they just disappeared off air and are still not back?
They say it’s due to budget cuts and stick on a load of game show repeats. It’s a P take, can’t believe we pay a tv licence for this

When are they back? Barely watching itv now

What conspiracy?

Its only on 30 weeks a year. Itv is a broadcaster so you don't pay a licence fee.

ohtobethin · 15/04/2026 12:45

But you’ve just said it’s on itv?

so you do not pay a licence fee for it?

and what is the conspiracy?

TV licence has nothing to do with loose women. What is the conspiracy exactly?

You don’t pay your tv licence for this.
TV licence covers BBC only, that’s why you don’t get adverts on those channels.

Loose women is ITV isn't it? So not funded by the licence payers.

Well, ITV as a commercial broadcaster is not funded by the TV licence fee so you’re not paying for it. But on that basis, if they’re not making new ones it’s probably because the advertising revenue doesn’t cover the cost of production.

Is it not that it’s only going to be on for about 30 weeks a year?
