The TV Licence fee is one of my biggest "Pet Peeves" about this country. Its a stealth tax in reality as no-one can live without a TV in their home and call themselves human.. I mean even if you want to game on a reasonable sized TV, you're still subjected to the BBCs fee even if you don't use it for watching their shit.
Anyway, the BBC have announced they're cutting down on programs and jobs and I for one want a reduction in TV Licence fees if they are..
Having already lost most of the sporting events to Sky and ITV, there isn't much other than the BBC News website I care about. The cuts will more than likely come in the areas I would be interested in too, not the obvious places, like putting Tiana Benjamin (Chelsea from Eastenders*) in a pit to face a bunch of ravenous dogs... now that would be a fucking show I'd be tuning in for!
So, I have done the BBC a favour and compiled a list of things that could and should be removed from its payroll for free... their team of experts on this matter are obviously fucktards!
Jonathan Ross - The BBC pay Ross £18 million pounds a year... yes, you read that right... EIGHTEEN MILLION POUNDS A YEAR. Thats about £1 per TV Licence going directly to him! I'm sorry but no amount of stylish suits and being a closet nerd justifies this salary given the amount of work he actually does for the BBC... he's still a fucking "pwick".
Axing EastFuckingEnders - the show is wank in a cup really, let's face it. The EastEnders budget of £50 million a year could really be used to fund new and interesting ideas rather than regurgitate the same plots with different faces surely?! I know this fools about 99.9% of the audience of this shit but fucking hell its getting old... I know all soaps do this, but I'm not paying £2.50 a year to fund any other soaps now am I!
Killing Graham Norton - not only is he an annoying little cunt, he's also taxing £5 million of the BBC budget every year.
Sacking Has Been DJs from Radio One - Chris Moyles has been repeating the same show daily now for at least 4 years that I know of. You know how much he gets paid a year for that? £630,000! For fucking 3 hours work a day, 5 days a week! He even has a team of writers and helpers around him to mop his brow and bring him pies! His uninteresting games and show planning has gone on for too long at the BBCs expense... ship him and his band of sycophants off to Virgin Radio. Jo Whiley can fuck her own arsehole too on £250k a year... and don't get me started on Sara Cox!
Euthenise Wogan - Taking £800,000 of the Licence Payers money, Terry Wogan begging for donations on Children In Need, boring us to tears on Radio 2 and making me pray for Nuclear Holocaust in Europe during the Eurovision Song Contest needs a very generous "Euthenasia Golden Handshake" from the BBC if it's needing to make cuts.. surely the salaries of 40 junior writers have a better chance of doing something positive than one of a wrinkled old piss flap?
Turn off shitty radio - Have you ever listened to Radio 3, Radio 6 or Radio 7??? Other than listening briefly to Craig Charles and Bruce Dickinson on Radio 6, I never listen to any one of these stations enough to justify their running costs. You can't even get 6 or 7 without DAB radio and who the fuck is going to go out of their way to install that!
Stop buying the rights to sport Full Stop - I remember when you could rely on the BBC for uninterrupted Grand Prix, FA Cup games, Rugby and all sorts. What do we get guaranteed these days?? Snooker and Tennis... thats fucking it! You know why no other channel wants them... it's because they're both fucking wank.
The drips of football matches and their highlights may as well just go to ITV, thus reducing the bidding war, thus reducing your overall costs, thus bringing down the price of the rights for sports and the TV Viewer wins.
Adverts for international viewers of the BBC News website - Technically this should be a piece of piss to do and would probably net the BBC millions of pounds in the process. If your IP address doesn't resolve to a UK address, you are subjected to advertising. Nothing crude, but as you aren't a licence payer, you shouldn't mind paying for your extra bandwidth usage through a little subliminal advertising. They already do it with their streaming service so why shouldn't the 33rd most popular website in the world generate some revenue from non-British visitors? If your international readers drop, so what! Less bandwidth usage, cheaper running costs, better service for those paying for it.
Sorry... this is a bit of a lengthy rant but I think I've got my point across. Stop skimming from the bottom when looking for areas to cut from the budget, head for the jugular and cull some of the overpaid, over-rated, comfortably numb characters up top that do little to justify their massive pay cheques.
The BBC used to stand for something great.. these days it's just Boring Boring Crap.

Hang on a minute...
You're off to play snooker tonight, but it's crap on tv? Isn't that a bit off?
Great post btw.
I like snooker myself, but you're bang on with most of them.
Haha... in fairness, I do
Haha... in fairness, I do actually like the snooker on TV too mainly because I dabble a bit myself and it's a yawning gulf from my own abilities in the sport. I'm sure for the average Joe though they couldn't give two fucks, or wouldn't mind its loss given they're paying for it.
I take back that Snooker itself is wank... it's tennis that blows goats...
I quite enjoy the tennis - I
I quite enjoy the tennis - I like watching everyone's reaction when England's latest great hope crashes out pathetically in the 1st round.
I also spend most of any Venus Williams match waiting to see if her cock finally falls out of her knickers, just to prove me right!
terry pissin wogan n the
terry pissin wogan n the whole of radio 2 have been pollutin my ears for the past 8 years coz the guys at work listen to it. it must be the male menopause stage, ya know, from radio 1 to radio 2, from lager to bitter, that type of thing.....fuckin toss radio 2.....work bores me enough without that shit goin in me ears!! angry!!
Agreed
Now what gets my goat more than the actual cost of this is the fact as you've said, other countries get access to the website and other services i pay 180 pounds a month for (Direct Debit, for your convenience and BBC's Profit)
Cant wait for the digital switchover, when the BBC actually have a way to stop everyone being able to access the channel, and then only people that want it can pay for it.
