Sky also has CNN and many other news channels not run by Murdoch.

With respect, BBC cant do sport to save their lives. Sky on the other hand...
A lot of the documentaries on BBC are aired on Discovery and the History channel first. Seen as I guess you dont have sjy due to you hating it so much, you wouldnt know that.

It's more about what they don't say than what they do say. Sky news is much tamer than fox news, comparatively.

I do actually have Sky, and think that it is good. I just think that the license fee for the BBC shouldnt be scrapped, because I also think the BBC is good. They complement each other well.

And? When was the last time fox news was on BBC? Its probably on sky though, so i'll take your advice next time so I can hear some really graphic details on how an election campaign is going.

You're right, they do, I like having my unique BBC channels, and I like having 900 other channels devoted to running something which I've seen before but do enjoy anyway. It's a good balance we have.

I have to admit, although there are some good channels (UKTV, sky one, discovery etc), there are loads of **** channels on there too (eg the shopping channels)

Fox news is what we'd have if the BBC wasn't funded and upheld to strict criteria of public good provision.

Yes they do but thats why everything should be pay per view. You pay for what you want to watch, not DIY shagging at prime time.

NO! the BBC should NOT be ppv, because you get far more than TV for your money. Like i've said, they dont have to return a profit, and so can do riskier things in new mediums like the internet. As a quick proof, compare the sky site (http://www.sky.com/) with the BBC site (http://www.bbc.co.uk/). The BBC site has more on it, because it can afford to take risks expanding.

Er, there are a million and one websites out there. I'd rather not pay for one good one when there are many other good ones which are free.

Trust me I havent changed my view at any point. I was taking the piss now. It should be scrapped and made pay per view or made like ITV.
