It was Mr Dimblby in last Saturday's BBC programme Any Answers that got me 'jumping'. I am usually very pro-BBC as I do believe the quality and range of programming is without comparison in other countries. But it was the off-handed way in which the increase in Licence Fee was being announced that led to my irritation. My point being was that many people who live outside the major cities in the UK are not able to receive programs such as More4 due to the fact the BBC/ITV relay stations are not digital, nor have they any prospect of being able to receive on in the near future. The only way I may receive Channel 5 is via a Sky Satellite broadcast, which I am able to receive the freeview element. I was told by the BBC that the digital programming of the substations had to be given to the cities, as it was the cities that were able to provide the best cost effective use of resources. This raises issues that the Licensing Authority have failed to address, namely if those who live in an area which are unable through cost-effective methods to receive the full range if programming put out from the major TV companies, why isn’t the Licence Fee reduced. Is it my fault that I cannot receive More4, which I could if I had a cable / Sky or Freeview connection. Is it so difficult for Channel 4 as the parent company of More4 to give the program to the Nation aka Channel 4?
