Its estimated the BBC would only lose some 2% of their users. <br />So even if they really pitched the fee too high, or offered too little, they could still almost guarantee some 90% of their current revenues.<br /><br />So why not just go subscription? <br />And then they could be as left leaning, global warming, progressive, as they wanted.<br /><br />I'd subscribe. just for the radio. Although I suspect radio and web would be free.

Just because some of the metropolitan media types deign to visit the countryside it becomes important, a popular Glyndebourne or musical version of the Hay-on-Wye literary festival. Because BBC latte sippers like it, so must everyone else.<br /><br />It's also why we get endless coverage of media-political trivia such as live reporting from Leveson when nobody in the country cares.Sahibnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32841798.post-63723083831363892342014-06-29T23:55:35.170+01:002014-06-29T23:55:35.170+01:00Having been at work with Radio 2 on all day Saturd...Having been at work with Radio 2 on all day Saturday, my thoughts are that:<br />Less chat, more live music would be good. What's the point of going to a massive live music events to sit in a tent and interview people who could drop by the studio anytime? <br />That said, almost anything is better than the normal radio 2 Saturday schedule - in particular, Graham Norton and Lisa Tarbuck should both come off air, and the regular O'Leary show is petty lacklustre.<br /><br /> I'd like to hear more live gigs broadcast, but ideally in a more "radio 3" style - introduced at the start, then that's it from the host till the end of the set. I remember being in work on late shift and hearing a Take That gig like that a couple of years ago - not really my style of music, but it was quite nice to get an experience more like being in the audience than the usual 3 min of music followed by 15 mins of banal interview.theProlenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32841798.post-69527547250623296192014-06-29T22:05:11.598+01:002014-06-29T22:05:11.598+01:00None of you have experienced a Drum 'n' Ba...<i>None of you have experienced a Drum 'n' Bass tent, clearly.</i><br /><br />Lol, a few, both licensed and otherwise.Steven_Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05029437876479574883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32841798.post-56454985141413283302014-06-29T20:50:28.255+01:002014-06-29T20:50:28.255+01:00once upon a time, Glastonbury was a real event...i...once upon a time, Glastonbury was a real event...it is now on the back-packers' itinerary, part of the bucket-list of people who go to Macchu Picchu without knowing anything about the Incas etc. When Tony Bennett, Dolly Parton and the Royal Opera Company get to appear at a yoof event, it has jumped the shark. Glastonbury jumped the shark about 15 years ago and it is now part of the BBC Proms. I hope they pay their fair share of tax, unlike the BBC, the RSPCA or Greenpeace.Graemehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11007306140530173428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32841798.post-71647596953814389952014-06-29T20:27:03.422+01:002014-06-29T20:27:03.422+01:00I would hazard a guess that the BBC funds dispropo...I would hazard a guess that the BBC funds disproportionately its coverage of "events" and its own management, compared with other large successful commercial media organisations. The BBC doesn't just send a reporter to an event, it sends a huge team per programme that might cover the event. Apparently there was a BBC-wide tech conference and nobody could decide whether to hold it in Salford or London, so they held it in Birmingham.Blue Eyesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32841798.post-45404849267212855222014-06-29T18:04:40.680+01:002014-06-29T18:04:40.680+01:00None of you have experienced a Drum 'n' Ba...None of you have experienced a Drum 'n' Bass tent, clearly.
