BBC.. time to call it a day ?

[Shudahaddogs]

How much can one corporation get wrong before we all say enough?

Calm down dear.

Absolutely not. I love the BBC.

I'm quite enjoying the Olympics coverage

They should’ve closed after the Saville ‘open secret’ debacle.

Everyone knew. And the BBC did nothing.

How many employers that size have gone through similar with their staff? The NHS has had several murderers through it's book, should they call it a day too?

Well if that’s the case can we shut down the Royal Family as well? Actually might as well shut down parliament considering how many of them are outed as criminals in some manner…

I love the principle of the BBC
but too much of the News and DEI part of it have UTTERLY lost their way

very torn at the moment

Absolutely not. I love the BBC.

Me too.

And so do millions around the world. (BBC World Service).

Would you rather have Putin dictating news OP? Or that crazy N.K. Kim?

Wait till Trump gets in (Go! Kamala!). Then we are totally fucked.

Am torn too, seems to be endless Strickly..Edwards..can't someone just sort them out ? Or is it too late ...

The BBC couldn't do anything until he was charged. He wasn't doing anything at work, it wasn't anything to do with the BBC covering anything up. They have said today they would have sacked him if he was charged. Nobody knew.

What if everyone was fired from work just because they had been arrested, with no charge or proof to the employer of their crime?

I would rather women on a Saturday night not having to dance with a fracture or news readers having pled guilty..seems little to ask..

I think a good metric of the BBC is Doctor Who and Children in Need.

Both have turned into abysmal farces. If I could stop paying the TV license and never see BBC again, I'd be all for it.

So many repeats and why do they need to broadcast so many news channels and pay presenters stupid money for sitting on their arses talking shite

I know right, let me just ask a man to explain it all. Silly me.

God, I gave up on them years ago. Still have to pay the licensing fee though sadly.

DS (25) doesn't watch them either and apparently many of his generation don't either. I guess it'll just peter out eventually and become a complete irrelevance.

We are incredibly lucky to have the BBC. I would be extremely worried if it ceased service.

Happy for it to carry on self funded. Bloody sick of the expense of a TV license due to their massive cut.

I’m not really enjoying their Olympics coverage. I just went into the iPlayer to watch the triathlon and they’ve cut down our gold medal win to literally four minutes of watching. Just shit.

What’s wrong with their DEI policy?

No.

I love Radio 4 and think it's worth the licence fee in itself (even though it's not for radio), it entertains, educates and informs me so much! And I like 6 Music as well and there's lots of good TV too.

It wasn't until today that we found out he was actually guilty of something. And the thing he's guilty of is not the thing he was originally suspended for.
The thing he's guilty of was only found out because the police weee investigating someone else who happened to have been in contact with Huw.

Anyway, employers can't immediately sack or stop paying employees because they have been suspected of doing something.
We are lucky enough to live in a country with good employment rights. You have to wait until someone has been charged and/or found guilty.
Imagine the furore if Huw had been sacked and then found to be innocent of any crime.

That isn't the fault of the BBC - they (and national broadcasters globally) have been given extremely limited rights to Olympics coverage.
Discovery Plus is the official broadcast partner and the BBC (and other national broadcasters globally) are only allowed to show a fraction of the action. For the BBC that's no more than 2 live streams at any one time and only a small amount of the highlights.
It IS shit, I agree. But it's the Olympics have made it that way by choosing one pay-to-view official broadcaster, not the BBC.

Would be abolish Royal Mail because they hounded several people to their death? Would we abolish the office of Prime Minister because of Boris Johnson's behaviour (I am certain none of it involves children though)?

I want a better BBC, not no BBC.

The BBC is about the best free educational resource in the world, literally tens of millions of children need it to stay open, including most schools in the UK
