Programming you can set your watch by

BBC gets more commercial

“This is the BBC news, brought to you by Rolex.” The corporation has sparked fresh concerns over creeping commercialisation after signing the watchmaker as an official sponsor.

Creeping commercialisation?

Well why not?

It’s about time the BBC went the whole hog, it’s about time the licence tax fee was abolished, and the corporation and it’s viewers were set free. Perhaps then they could get back into the game of competing decent sports programming again.

In all honestly there is only a certain proportion of the BBC’s content that requires any sort of protection or subsidy, and it’s all on The World Service, and even that could benefit from some private cash injections. There are so many “in house” promotional advertisements in between BBC television programmes they may as well be substituted by commercial ads, so long as there are no commercial breaks mid programme I doubt that too many people would be displeased to see the licence fee go west!
