"All you whiners... making and even just broadcasting TV is **NOT cheap** who do you think they are, a charity?? No, they need to make money"
If you want better TV, you have to PAY!! "
No they AREN'T charity, they make huge sums, from the ADVERTIZING, and most of it goes to the top brass and the share holders, I am an old semi-retired actor, we get paid a pittance.
If they want more money, put on better programs, attract mor, viewers and then they can charge more for their advertizing, the same way that "quality news-papers" do (O.K. so "quality news-papers" is an oxy-moron) but the more readers that they have the more that they can charge their advertizers.
As has been said, not every-one can afford to pay for channels, some of us are trying to survive on pensions, should we be treated as people who have contribute to and helped to build Britain, or should we be treated as an under-class, by the Capitalist system, who are now use-less with nothing to contribute to the fat wage packets of the riders of the gravy train
