Again, agree totally about Radio 4 being worth the fee alone.
To my everlasting shame, I am a Sky subscriber (pardon me while I puke). I held out for a long time against wife and kids, but eventually gave in for an easier life. So here I am giving Mr Murdoch over �500 (!!!) a year; for what? Mostly advertising-infested trash, apart from the stuff that�s available on terrestrial TV anyway. You couldn�t make it up.
Compare that to what the licence fee buys and the BBC product we get in return looks like unbelievably good value.
However, I must, though it pains me, agree that the case in favour of compulsory subscription � which is what the licence fee is � is a difficult one to argue.
Also, much as I like ad-free F1 coverage, I wouldn�t mind knowing how much of my licence fee/subscription was spent on my behalf to buy that freedom from advertising. Quite possibly too much.
PS: Can�t wait to see the back of Mr Woss.
