Hopefully, in two years time, the BBC's tax on TV viewers will be a thing of the past. The corporation has decended from being the formost educational channel to simply chasing the ratings and anti government/anti brexit bias.Unfortunately, at the moment, the viewer has to pay to watch the increasingly large number of 'repeats' being shown daily.
Shame we can't repeat the license and have, ( for the time being) have to renew each year in order to watch a load of old cr*p and reallity shows.

Thankfiully, in two year's time, the BBC's tax on viewers will be a thing of the past.
Since the government's review on how the corporation is funded, there has been nothing but anti-government/anti brexit bias from them. What was once a respected, reliable news source, has rapidly gone down hill - you can't even trust their 'red button' newsservice (page 160) to be explicit and geographically correct.

FYI, AIUI, the "licence fee" is frozen for the next two years and isn't due to end until 2027 under these proposals.
