i wonder if there is any way we as licence fee payers can complain about them thinking of using our money to fund ch4, i'd rather they went bust.
I'd rather they went bust too...I think through this LF business, it has already revealed alternative agendas than just a good business decision. Dunno who you would complain to though until public money was actually given to them and they perhaps misspent it...until then it's all just guessing.
My take on stuff - Cut LF through cost say C4 (the whole idea of BB was 24/7 feed)....then give the presenter a huge payrise....revamp the BBBM studio for only one show a week...stop charity donations on voting.....etc,etc.
If it was a LF cost issue only, C4 would have sold the LF rights to BB (PPV) and made their money that way ...but it seems PPV isn't even an option being discussed.
They have tinkered and reduced LF many times over the past few years...imo C4 only ever wanted BB as a HL show....LF was/is too inconvenient for them. They bought the original BB idea and have converted it into the fiasco they now call BB, through sheer laziness and taking it's popularity for granted.
LF brings in massive amounts of publicity for BB and C4 have just chucked it all away....anyone with any sense would be questioning that type of business decision.
Oh dear I ranted!
...and clicking post now as it took me ages to type it all!
