Portable Badger Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 (edited) A question if I may - Why are the likes of Vine coming out suggesting the presenter declare themselves “to save colleagues experiencing vitriol”? Surely everyone suspects who it is or are others being accused that they are just like this presenter as well? I don’t do other SM so I’m not seeing any of these comments or accusations on Twitter et al. Edited July 12, 2023 by Portable Badger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kila Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Part of the problem with high salaries is that's the going rate, and if the BBC is to compete with other broadcasters then they need to pay similar. BBC had the option to show major golf tournaments again, including just highlights on a cheaper deal, but opted not to, as they felt the audience was no longer interested in golf or something. I wonder who made that decision and based off what... this is the problem with the BBC, especially when they'll make sure they can showcase Wimbledon because it's something posh folk also watch.

In producing the story, word gets around and rumours spread. This, in itself, stokes the fire for others to come forward with their stories about the rumoured people. So that narrows the field for the tabloid when matching names. Another point is that these tabloids build dossiers on hundreds of 'celebrities', storing stuff for future use. Given The Sun's animosity towards the BBC, you could put a safe bet on them having something (however small or large) on everyone on that top 10 earners' list. So they'll pull out stuff about this presenter at intervals until either he or they are done for. Private Eye readers may well remember their story about what the Sun would call a 'debauched' party during lockdown, on the same night (I believe) as one of the Downing Street lockdown parties that led to prosecutions. The Sun was very quiet in covering the Downing St parties and prosecutions, partly through their weird support for Johnson, partly due to their own behaviour. Today's headline alleging a lockdown meeting between presenter and someone is hypocritical beyond belief. Meanwhile, Johnson still hasn't given up his phone or messages.

I was going to suggest that they hadn't gone for golf because it's such a middle class pastime. However, so's tennis but I suppose that the BBC has never given up Wimbledon so they aren't buying it back into the portfolio. They've bent over backwards to ensure that the tennis presentation team is 'politically correct', regardless of editorial quality. There'll be some right-on manager who's decided that golf just won't do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you saying without the BBC, there would be no TV anywhere else in the world, or that Sky/BT wouldn't be able to charge £120 a month for subs? Old people have free licences Why wouldn’t the BBC sell its programmes abroad? We have to pay foreign broadcasters to put foreign stuff on the BBC. Selling the programmes abroad generates hundreds of millions which go toward running costs and commissioning new dramas/shows. This keeps the price down. As someone who has spent many years living and working abroad you very quickly realise the quality, impartiality and value of the BBC. Go live in the US - tv channels are expensive and utter shite. Trust me the first thing you do when you are abroad is to look up the BBC channels and internet. If & when Scotland gets independence I guarantee most of our tv programmes will still be provided by the BBC. I genuinely believe there are still shiteloads of savings to be made at the BBC though - 1. one English game was on midweek so you had 5 Live with a radio comm team, Radio London with their comm team, Merseyside Radio with their comm team - all three providing live radio commentary plus you had a BBC team with cameras as part of their highlights. 2. You have the same duplication with all the Political journalists in Westminster and Holyrood with regional teams as well. 3. BBC Scotland - latest figures out are a complete joke and an embarrassment - less than 12000 watching (less than 1% of the viewing population). It was stating some of the costs were triple those for rUK - just so we can say we have a Scottish Channel. etc...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
