Should the BBC have adverts

no they shud i hate adverts ..... . . . . . . . . . . . .

i think the bbc should have adverts and scrap the tv licence, why should people have to pay for a licence to watch rubbish and repeats especially if your paying extra for sky tv

yes every other channel works with them no more licence fee

It is about time they were made to have adverts and scrap the TV licence. They may be more careful then about what they show and how much they pay their top people. They are no longer an unbiased company as was their claim the last time this issue was raised. They show repeats, cheap cooking programmes and reality show all at peak viewing times. It is an outdated form of raising revenue.

Adverts are an intrusion and I would quite happilly pay to watch a channel without them. However, I want to do this out of choice and not be forced into paying a TV tax to keep the BBC afloat.

i hate adverts but if it means that there is no more tv licence fee then yes

No THat why the BBC is so Good

First off, if you want more of my opinion on this subject I have answered questions on this in the past so check my profile. Put simply compare the quality of BBC channels to that of ITV, they're in completely different leagues. Why is that? ITV needs advertising revenue so it can't afford to take risks therefore it only produces shows that it knows are going to get good ratings. This leads to derivative, repetitive and ultimately boring shows like Pop Idol and Britain's Got Talent. However since this comes down to cold hard cash for many people lets look at this mathmaticaly:
Annual cost of license fee = £139.50
Cost per month = £139.50/12 = £11.625
Average cost of an adult cinema ticket = £5.00
No. of films you could watch instead of having a TV = 2.325
Average length of a film = 90 mins
Total time spent watching films instead of having a TV = 209.25 mins
Amount of programming per month (28 days) on BBC1 + BBC2 = 2(28*24*60) = 80,640 mins (assuming no outages - human error, upgrades etc.)
Equivalent number of 90 min films = 80,640/90 = 896
Cost of seeing 896 films = 896*5 = £4,480
So how does that compare £4,480 to £11.625 and thats just two of their channels, it doesn't cover the radio or their website. Still could be worse in Iceland they pay the equivalent of £277 and still have adverts.

No..If they did then scrap the TV licence...Then again won't be a bad thing cause most channels have adverts now.. so don't think it would bother much

Yes. Stop the rip off of a licence fee. I pay a hell of allot to watch a series of Dr Who
