Tbh I now watch Traitors, news once a day and the occasional bbc radio 4. That’s all my bbc. I’m now invested in high quality content from YouTube and Times Radio. The licence fee is certainly an outdated model. I will keep paying but I’m becoming very reluctant to subside all these pointless radio and tv stations and the way that Tim Davie decimated local radio.
I used to listen to the BBC radio all day but now I listen to Radio 3 until they annoy me too much with their insistence on diversity (19th century long-forgotten-for-a-reason black American composers and/or women). I then switch to Cladrite Radio on the internet from New York. Or I listen/watch interviews on YouTube or Patreon sites. Likewise, I don't watch much BBC stuff on TV (or any of the other old channels) and, if I do, it doesn't take long before I am calling out all the woke/diverse/untrue rubbish. (Mind you, I wouldn't bother with any TV because it's all simply watching other, imaginary, people living lives I'm not living - I'd rather read a book).
So, there is a place for the BBC but only if they go back to being a TRUSTED organisation telling the truth without an opinion and making dramas without a message and showing documentaries with actual experts. Not going to happen, though, is it? Not when they are a convenient mouthpiece of the government (any party) and stuffed full of Oxbridge pseudo-Marxist Islington dinner party types.

The bbc and trusted news died a long time ago
Bolshevik Broadcasting Corporation’s days are numbered, unless they deal with ‘Progressive’ leftist bias and an outdated, unfair funding system.
