happy to pay the license fee
I think the purpose of the BBC should be to keep the bar high.
Look at Sky News: it's not bad! But it has BBC News to contend with. Got to america and watch Fox News and that's what a lack of BBC gets you. If you haven't seen Murdoch's Fox News look on YouTube, you won't believe it - and it's Murdoch who wants the beeb scrapped. If you oppose the license fee you're doing Murdoch's work for him.
Same with children's programs. Without CBeebees and the other BBC children's channel our kids would be watching endless american cartoon rubbish.
The problem is when the BBC just chases ratings for the sake of it and produces mindless dross like east f***ing enders. For the life of me I can't figure out why our license fee is paying for that rubbish.
