Re: Two conflated things
So, most of the time I watch the BBC or ...
And don't forget that we are (yet again) in a position where the status of the BBC is being "re evaluated". If they lose their licence fee and have to use adverts, then expect a race to the bottom of the swamp and all we'll have left will be endless carp filling in the small gaps between adverts.
And, IMO but many agree, it's only the standard set by the BBC who don't have to chase ratings in the same way as those financed by advertising that forces others to at least pretend to keep up their own standards. Ie, you can't get away with complete and utter carp quite the same if there's a half decent alternative for people to compare with.
