Why is there so much rubbish on tv?

Question

Is it really worth the licence we pay??

Answer 1

It reflects the British publics taste.The many people that say,is it worth the license fee.Whenever intellectual programming is shown,the public complain that it is elitist and does not reflect their lives and so do not want to pay the license fee.The BBC can't win,the public want TV that they relate to in their lives,but then gets attacked for not showing enough rubbish.

The public and not the beeb are to blame,we now have many thick people and they call the shots,the beeb then dances their tune.You are typical of that,two way pull.The i/player means that you can select programmes to your needs,so no-one can complain.l am about to watch gardeners world and then don't die young,someone else can select eastenders and neighbours so we are now spoilt for choice

Answer 2

Its not worth the licence fee cos the BBC spend it all on sports like the Olympics and Wimbledon. I absolutely hate it when other programs run late cos the sports have not finished it really rattles my cage. The only good programs are Top Gear, Eastenders, Dr Who and Torchwood.

It's very subjective, what's rubbish to me may not be rubbish to you and vice versa.

Tv has to cater for all tastes, ages and interests.

Answer 8

Perhaps you need to tidy up..

Answer 9

Maybe there should be a scheme where you pay only for the programmes you actually watch?

Answer 10

Corporations need to sell their garbage; the best way to do that is by taking risks with T.V. shows.  Commercials pay for the programs you know, one of the reasons cited as to why corporate bodies can never rule the world is their dependency on ads.  If a corporation took over the government, all people would need to do, is stop buying their products, and indeed they sell us a lot of stuff we don't need.  Now corporations in charge of farms, sanitation, etc, now that is a different story...

I know what you mean, the only time my tv gets switched on is to play game consoles, it's not worth the licence fee at all.

Answer 14

Answer 15

because standards have slipped considerably in the past few years now its all "Reality TV garbage" you only have to look on the Television section of Yahoo Q & A that 90% of it is about Big Brother, then you will have all the X- Factor retards next and all the other c**p shows that follow.
