A friend of mine whom directs and produces some shows for national TV abroad once told me.
"The BBC, is education for every other media outlet. There is nothing like it and working for it would be a dream for every news journalist/documentary producer/interviewer/comedian/ etc etc."
I second that. I think is not a just a national treasure. Its a world treasure and I happily pay my licence fee towards it
I'd agree with that. I mainly watch BBC1 and BBC2. Mainly listen to Radio 4 and Radio 5 Live. Er indoors also like BBC2. Kids like Cebeebies and CBBC Internet news is BBC too. The only time we venture out of BBC-land is for the odd Occasional foray in ITV or C4.
I am currently a Sky subscriber (locked in for 12 months as part of a complicated house move) and I watch precisely zero Sky output.
That may change (so I can see some of the televised QPR matches this season). But even then I'll try to do it via Virgin or BT f I can.
Which just about sums it up for me, anyway; the only point of Sky is Premier League football.
