Trouble is, on a certain level, we need it. It's the only broadcaster that's got the reach to get important information out quickly, to almost everybody.
I can honestly say that we haven't watched any BBC channel for well over 25 years, so any announcements would bypass me anyway. I hate, despise the BBC and I'd love to live long enough to see the BBC die a death, but I can't see it happening because our corrupt government will do their utmost to keep them going. I watch very little TV, and when I do it's a film from Netflix or a drama that we binge watch from itvx, but never, ever, ever anything from the BBC. Unfortunately for me, my Mrs watches all of the old stuff from 30 odd years ago, but thankfully never anything on BBC. When a BBC spokesperson was interviewed, he said that if the BBC get cancelled we'd lose shows like Strictly Come Dancing. Is that it, is that their best defence.
