I've signed, it'd be better all round if the Beeb introduced adverts, and got their money that way.
No.

Is there a petition anywhere on the PM's website for the abolition of the abysmal commercial TV stations?
BTW that petition is not conducive to keeping your anonymity on this site (if that is of any importance to you).
Oh yeah, I really want to sign up for less:
quality drama,
documentaries
investigative journalism

and more:
trashy reality tv
commercials
game shows.
Kempie, if you find one I'll sign it.
no
As Rojash says really , roughly 30p a day for some quality or sit through God knows how many adverts for *****..... difficult!
Ooh yes, let's dumb the BBC down to ITV levels. Non-stop reality TV crap of people who had one hit single in 1974 screaming at each other, sanctimonious failed DJs introducing car-crash TV where the underclass air their dirty laundry because it's better than sorting out their own problems or going to a proper counsellor, and don't forget those 5-hour all-night moronathon interactive quiz programmes where you can watch some hapless presenter desperately hoping for an Equity card slowly losing the will to live while waiting for Rita from Barnsley to phone up and tell us which 9 letter word can be formed by re-arranging the letters FRUCTIAKE.

Plus more from Barry Scott/Cillit Bang. Whoopee!

Warning: the above post may contain traces of sarcasm.
Nobody's mentioned the fantiastic radio programmes we get from the BBC in addition to TV. Radios 4 and 7 are worth more than 30p a day on their own. I certainly won't be signing this petition.
Absolutely not - other than their left bias news reporting, I think the BBC is a fantastic organisation. They have a govt mandate to produce a number of certain types of programming, and without that mandate we wouldn't have such fantastic pieces of TV such as that involving Attenborough etc...
I would pay twice as much if it got rid of all the adds
Yes. Sign here for moron tv.
No.

I love the unique way the BBC is funded. If it were not for the TV licence, we'd all have to settle for not very enjoyable lowest common denominator TV.

I much prefer the BBC, where three quarters of the programmes don't interest me in the slightest, but others are brilliant.

I find it ironic that "ratings" don't actually give any indication of how viewers rate programmes, just how many watched them.

I wish that we got more for our money sometimes, but the BBC is priceless.
Absolutely not. Keep the BBC as it is. It's generally only people who couldn't care less about the quality of television who argue to abolish the licence fee. Those of us who ARE bothered about seeing some decent, interesting programming - uninterrupted by stupid adverts - recognise that the licence fee must stay.
