BBC are asking the over 75s to give up their Free T V licience's are you giving up yours ? or would you give it up if you were entitled to a free one

Write your comments here...If they improved the quality and variety of programmes I might consider it.But in fairness due to our ages we have paid over and over again to see now what we were seeing years ago so why ask us to pay again?.SG2

War & Peace, Dickensian, Largest Dinosaur in the World, Only Connect, University Challenge, Winterwatch, Masterchef ... need I add more?

Yes, the Beeb shows a lot of repeats if you're a daytime TV addict, but compared to the rubbish offerred on the commercial alternatives, I'd say they'd got a pretty good record really.

(Still wouldn't be turning down my free licence though!)

Write your comments here...it is not law or compulsory yet   The news report which I have been following for awhile , is those that be at the BBC have been in a number of meeting's with the government putting foward this idea as they need to raise their revenue by rather a lot and government won't give them the o k to raise the TV licience, so no need to panick yet Hosta , personally I don't believe there are enough over 75s not paying the t v licience  to make up many millions of £ the beeb are expecting to raise 

We watch a lot of BBC programmes, prefer them to the commercial channels. We don't have Sky we have Freeview, we would prefer to pay a subscription to BBC (rather than license) for an encoded system that we could receive when we are away.

...From the TV licence site. In 2014,  4.33 milion over 75s claimed the free licence at a cost of £607.8 million!

And if the alternative to a licence fee was advertisement breaks every 15 minutes or so ?
