Hopefully the advent of GBNews and UKNews will show them the error of their ways in trying to get rid of the been! |
Title: Re: We're doomed! Post by Burstner55 on Feb 14th, 2021, 5:40pm You say GOD HELP THE BBC" but surely Murdoch IS God? He may as well be, considering how many people worship in his church. (Here, in the US, Germany and Australia). I think we have to face up to a time, maybe when many of us are past caring, when the media cathedral of the BBC comes tumbling down like the walls of Jericho. With Cronyism the new creed there seems very little we can do but face the Wailing Wall and weep. Those inhabitants of the UK who are "the future" seem not to care a jot. So why should WE? As an aside, I worked alongside, though in competition with, Paul Potts when he was a fresh faced municipal reporter in his home city. His ruthless ambition shone through even then. His rise was meteoric. You have to admire his story...rags to riches and CBE. But he's 71 now. Can he still pull it off? |
Title: Re: We're doomed! Post by apcwmwl on Feb 15th, 2021, 12:54pm It's not just the BBC which under threat. The current legislation as enforced by OfCom takes no account of the plethora of streamlining networks who make no contribution to the UK economy. Last week's Amol Rajan Interview with ITV CEO Dame Carolyn McCall and her analysis of the future of FTA broadcasting makes very clear the challenges faced. Her comments are insightful and a little scary. Would that the BBC could get together with all its UK FTA colleagues and come up with a united front to present to the political purse holders of our society. |
