BBC Magazine Advertising rates

I was staggered to learn that advertisers actually pay £11,332 for a full page advert in the very successful BBC Top Gear Magazine.

I also learnt a new word today:

Advertorial

An advertisement promoting the interests or opinions of a corporate sponsor, often presented in such a way as to resemble an editorial.

A single page advertorial in Top Gear (The BBC motoring public service publication) cost a mind blowing £21,500 and a DPS advertorial? cost £38,700

This reinforces my view that the BBC are a scam and every program shown on the BBC is in fact an advert for the product.

Noel admits TV license evasion live on BBC news!

Well done to Noel Edmonds, it's about time a current high profile celeb said it like it really is.

BBC Trust (Public Consultation 2008)

Hey ho, The BBC Trust is this week expected to launch its public consultation into how the licence fee is collected and what punishments are meted out to evaders.

My view on the public consultation is this.... I feel that this is a consultation to shut up the moaners amongst us, call me cynical if you want. I reckon after this 12 week folly, things will carry on the same as before, "full steam ahead", said the captain.

An investigation carried out by the institution that is being investigated seems ludicrous. (paying lip service is a common term used).

The BBC themselves state "The BBC is to ask viewers and listeners for their opinions on how the licence fee is collected following complaints about "heavy-handed" tactics."

Nothing is mentioned about those people and families that don't have a Television and yet are still harassed and intimidated daily, who will be hearing their gripes? how will they even know about the consultation?

Perhaps TV Licensing will insert a notice into the threatening letters asking for the opinions of the imminent investigation and court fine that they should expect.

Have you say now on the BBC Website

Letters to my Auntie (the BBC ) Updated

The BBC have replied back to Anon E mouse, he originally sent them a letter, stating that TV Licensing and Capita are mis-representing themselves and that the public have been given the impression by these outfits, that they have more power than the law provides. TV Licensing and Capita are breaking the Human Rights laws daily and the battling correspondence between the BBC and Anon E Mouse goes on with this three page reply back from the BBC.

BBC Bitesize

Why do the BBC, our so called auntie or the better still the nicely named Beeb, why do they sell us their excellent bitesize educational series of courses.

We the TV Licence fee payer have paid for their production and creation.

Then we are expected to purchase the product itself, that is if we want the best for our children.

Only the more wealthy families with young children are able to afford BBC Bitsize.

OK, so the BBC might say bitesize is freely accessible on the Internet for no charge, but yet again it is only the more wealthier families, in the main with computers accessible to their children when the child requires them.

Theses books photographed in waterstones retail at £9.99 each.

The BBC offer free DVD's in national newspapers, the offerd DVD's are normally, (In my opinion), rehashed very old or useless used up material archived from the BBC funny room, another appropriate name could be, dross or even shite.

The BBC could for once give something back in return for the rich life it has enjoyed for nearly 90 years.

The BBC owe us.

BBC Puppets (muppets?)

I couldn't believe my eyes when I caught the last 5 minutes of the weakest link (sat 21st June 2008).

It is understandable that the youth of Britain are the most unhappiest in the western world, they are a captive audience subjected to patronising abuse such as this.

Not only that, £11,500 of our TV licence funds were handed over to the charity WWF via a puppet.

It is a blatant scam the bbc are laughing at us as they rip us off and threaten us. We pay their over inflated wages, through the funding of the Licence fee.

I've a good mind to call crimestoppers, (Rat on a Rat), another successful charity and report the bastards at the BBC.

blatant mental child abuse, is unacceptable even in the guise of entertainment and charity, it's not worth it.

BBC Wages

The BBC, Midday brainwashing news session 2nd June 2008, discussing the extortionate rates of pay that our public servants are receiving.

BBC Quote:

"TV and radio personalities are "special people doing special jobs", even if certain members of the audience do not like them.

The popularity of big name presenters means there is fierce competition to secure their services, and this can lead to "very high financial rewards" both from the BBC and its competitors."

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7430961.stm

The BBC don't have any competitors they are the only public service broadcaster this side of baghdad.

Rajar (I don't trust the figures)

Call me cynical, if you like.

Just as I don't trust the police to police themselves or Politicians to investigate their own buddies in parliament.

I don't trust Rajar which just happens to be jointly owned by the BBC and the RadioCentre on behalf of the commercial sector. I don't trust them to conduct their own listenership.


Both radio one and two, Moyles and wogan came out with flying colours, the Times online wrote

"Listening through digital radio sets, websites and mobile phones has cemented the popularity of BBC stations but their dominance could prompt fresh calls for the privatisation of Radio 1 and 2."

Of course, I Thought the BBC is selling everything else off, why not bump the figures skyhigh, give an impression that its going great guns and then flog it.

Its no different to sprucing an old banger of a car up, to sell. the steering normally goes on the first corner.

Or a quick paint job on a studio flat before selling it on exorbitantly, the decor is normally ruined with the first drop of rain as it comes pouring through the unnoticed hole in the roof.

BBC EPIC

This was my first Movie, OK, it will never be put up for a Bafta or a Britt nomination, but it is up on my you tube channel along with all of my other Oscar nomiated movies, only joking.


BBC EPIC.

In this movie I wanted to show that the BBC is just like any other money making business. The BBC compete directly, not only with other TV and radio broadcasters but also with book publishers, magazine publishers, toy and games manufacturers and many many other industries.
Why should our citizens be harassed, intimidated and shamed publicly or even sent to prison just for not buying a TV Licence.

The BBC are always bigging up their own charity "children in need" well what about the parents of those children in need who gives a stuff about them?

I do.

BBC Reality TV

It is plain to see, the BBC are no different to ITV, Channel 4 or Channel 5, these are its main terrestrial televisual competitors, the BBC don't offer anything unique.

In the main its game shows, talent shows, negative soap operas and then its finished of with the news headlines, this is where the BBC show us the headlines of tomorrow's newspapers (today).

And to end it all we have National weather forcast, capped of with the Local weather forcast.

FORECAST: To calculate or estimate something in advance; predict the future. Hey!! thats what mystic meg does on the lottery show, isn't it?

The BBC still get away with screening repeat after repeat, they even happily include in their schedules, 30 year old movies. (sometimes in glorious colour)

In a country that contains nearly 60 million people, why do the BBC only employ a handful of presenters, I'll call these people "The BBC Faces" you'll know who I mean.

These BBC Faces are given three maybe more jobs on the BBC, these same boring BBC Faces could be seen on TV one day and heard on the radio the next, they could even have a bit part in a drama or a week in the sunshine checking out holiday accommadation and to finish off the week we track their ancestral lives, this is where we meet their long lost or forgotten siblings crying in their soup, or distitute in thier caravan living on a corner plot of a unused wheat field.

Then when their is a mass catastrophe or disaster, such as an earthquake or a tsuami or perhaps starving children have been found around a little camp fire in southern africa, our BBC Faces can be seen on the Television or heard on the radio pleading for our support to help.

That is the BBC (in my opinion) and that is what we pay for.

Why do we need a TV Licence?

Why do we need a TV Licence?

We have many sources of entertainment and news channels on our computer, nearly all of the sources are free to watch or read.

The TV Licence is out of date, not neccesary, and just like the parrot in the famous "monty python sketch" Its dead.
