Loondave1 Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 It was almost impossible to imagine a station worse than STV Scotland but this somehow manages it with ease with its combination of ancient out of copyright films and tenth rate QVC style ripping off the public shows.Popeye cartoons from pre WW2 not good enough for you eh ? I'm hoping for a movie that's actually in focus one day. It is astonishing they could win a licence with their output though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did see them showing an ancient foreign cartoon which managed to cut the subtitles off at both ends. Quality. That wasn't in focus either.

It's a public broadcaster and should therefore be completely transparent in it's reporting. The fact that it's not, shows that it favours some TV tax payers over others who contribute the exact same amount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 You'd think from this thread that all the BBC do is news programmes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but the news is a huge part of it. All of the shows and documentaries etc are a great way of gaining peoples trust. Afterall, if the documentaries and shows are of a good standard, then surely we can trust their news services as well? Right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, "preferable". "Preferable" doesn't however mean that it's any better or any more factually accurate. It just means people are more accustomed to the BBC narrative.

Dr Watson Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 It's incredible just how many people do not know what they are paying for when they get a TV license. The license is required to watch live TV on any channel, not just BBC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
