The BBC license fee 16:10 - Jun 4 with 8366 views | BelsteadCav | After David Mitchell defence of the bbc the other day, which tv or radio show do you think is worth the license fee? Obviously the sport coverage ( World Cup, Olympics etc ) Spring watch Radio 2, radio 5 live and 6 music What else do you think is worth it? | |

The BBC license fee on 16:12 - Jun 4 with 3073 views | pointofblue | Definitely any programming which wouldn’t be viable on free-to-air commercial television. The natural history department is second to none. | |

The BBC license fee on 16:19 - Jun 4 with 3022 views | ArnoldMoorhen | Giri/Haji. I'll keep banging on about it until you all watch it. The British/Japanese The Bridge or Fargo. So good and criminally under-promoted. | | | |

Good point. But I still think it’s worth the money | |

The BBC license fee on 16:22 - Jun 4 with 2991 views | Sarge | Biannual international football tournament coverage Annual Eurovision Song Contest Coverage The BBC News/sport website That’s probably it tbh, I think most of the programming is clearly not aimed at me/my generation so it’s more paying the fee for access to other channels. | | | |

The BBC license fee on 16:37 - Jun 4 with 2916 views | GeoffSentence | The news on any BBC TV or Radio Channel. Not having output controlled by powerful media moguls, like Murdoch, is worth every penny of the licence fee and more. | |

The BBC license fee on 17:00 - Jun 4 with 2859 views | Lord_Lucan | After I saw his pre planned and completely set up tirade I had a look at the evenings BBC viewing and the only thing worth watching was Fawlty Towers and that's 40 years old It's not the amount of money for the license I am against it is the fact that I haven't got a choice. I mean what is it, £150? I just paid a robbing bastard dentist £50 for 5 minutes of his time. | |

Protect the BBC on 17:22 - Jun 4 with 2781 views | unstableblue | The forces undermining the BBC are the right, and the right wing press. BBC in a way gives us our identity. It’s demise will see the further rise of populism and the disease of Fox News type journalism. Yes it has got a lot wrong, and the main news and journalism is weak. But for me just these items alone justify the fee: Autumn/spring watch Motherland Newsnight R4 output - in our time, today, broadcasting house, Saturday live 6 music - Sean Keavny Those items alone justify the license fee | |

The BBC license fee on 17:31 - Jun 4 with 2750 views | Clapham_Junction | The news website, which is without doubt the best in the UK IMO. The football website used to be great, but in recent years they've really cut back the coverage of anything outside the Premier League - removing the league sections from the main page was a big backwards step as now it's quite difficult to access news stories from the lower division unless they make the front page (which isn't very often). | | | |

The BBC license fee on 17:37 - Jun 4 with 2704 views | You_Bloo_Right | In some ways the license fee is a piece of forced altruism. Want to watch Eastenders, or catch the latest Attenborough documentary? Then pay for a licence fee so the BBC can still produce stuff others want to watch/listen to. So Facters is right in my book; what's worth the license fee is the whole output even if only part of that output appeals on a personal level or has any objective worth. | |

£50 for 5 minutes! Just as well he isn't providing your TV entertainment. | |
