I get mine free in 3 years.
On this subject I do agree with UKIP the BBC could easily cut down on their outlay by not having so many channels. Do they really need the 12 radio stations and 6 regional stations that I can get via my Virgin box plus the many Local Radio stations available round the country. Then there are the numerous TV game shows and repeats, the high salaries and dubious payoffs,
I believe the BBC needs reigning in and go back to the quality body it used to be.
