BBC4 effectively shut down

[Colin Warnek]

There's no such thing as a free radio station.

Call it a radio licence then. Or have a separate licence fee.

The best channel the BBC have . The first channel to show the Killing , the Bridge ,Salamander etc . But most of these type of programme's are on Netflix now . The world has changed but will miss it if it goes !

Why complicate such a good thing?

I realise I pay very little for by far the best public service broadcasting in the world.

And the money subsdises the licence fee. I'd be really annoyed if thy didn't do this.

they don't so I assume you are annoyed unless you can prove thats not the case

there is no cross financing. Of course we cant find out all the detail because FOI does not apply. Its a private company

But they take off the shelf BBC programmes and sell them developed and funded by the tax payer
