Comments
The ´óÏó´«Ã½ has the facilities to let the Government know the wishes of the listeners/viewers and interested organizations.
It is now or never.
Enough of the ´óÏó´«Ã½ having to get out the begging bowl to the state every time the license fee comes round.
Step up the marketing and merchandise division removing its limitations.
Invite subscriptions (like sky does).
Have a fee from general taxation from government for 'essential' ´óÏó´«Ã½ services.
Yes even consider taking some advertising.
Then abolish the license fee itself.
Better all round...
The license fee is a joke -what % dont they recover already and now with TV phones how are they going to get fees for those .
Come into the 21 st century ´óÏó´«Ã½
With your stature advertisers will flock to you and bring you more money that you ever had. THEN you can start to increase your standards back to where they were and BEYOND....
Just one thing dont get greedy, give a set advertising time - dont keep increasing the slot lengths like SKY
and be very strict on ad quality . Good luck. License fee RIP.
