Im getting sick of the BBC advertising other BBC programs on the news and current event shows. Anyone else?

On a BBC current affairs breakfast program they kept advertising and 'interviewing' contestants on an ice skating program. Then tonight on BBC news they advertise programs for tomorrow and class it as news. What happened to the standards of the BBC? What are we paying out TV licences for, just to be fed the same drivel over and over

That is only one of the reasons that I rarely watch BBC News. Currently we have someone continually bragging that the BBC got the Northern Rock story first; as if it matters. The irritating drumming noise has been the subject of comment for a long time on the Points of View website. Now we have the annoyingly aggressive three-tone BBC signal on the World Service. BBC personnel have been embedded with (i.e. censored by) the US military. The BBC pointedly ignores complaints and says it does not read e-mails. On the other hand, Al Jazeera gives a pleasant, informative and unbiased service.
Reply:Indeed the quality of the media are getting lower even the BBC may be suffering and the loss of quality of programming, the best that is on the Internet at youtube and look on the themes varied! All this to see if we viewers are more donkeys to not understand the real life! I don´t Speak english
Reply:The BBC sucks. It is just outdoor relief for the upper classes. Everyone on there went to public school. You know, John Peel went to Charterhouse, and Simon Mayo went to the same school as Johnnie Walker. Check out the schooling of the others....





I was hearing some git of a Tory on 5live grumbling that poor old people who go to visit relatives in hospital in Wales don't have to pay parking fees and this was wrong because it came out of 'tax payers' money'. The irony that he was broadcasting on a medium wholly paid for out of tax payers' money seemed to elude him.





I NEVER watch the BBC. I remember all sorts of people doing ads for them, saying about how their excellence would be ruined if they took ads, and how there were not enough ads to go around, and then we had the explosion of digital tv and dozens of channels, all financed by ads. I would abolish the BBC tomorrow.





The speed with which Greg Dyke was despatched, though, shows it is an arm of government. There is no way they would ever do away with this particular branch of the propaganda ministry.

lol
Reply:That doesn't bother me too much, but I do wish the BBC World Service wouldn't keep announcing how good it is, it's had a good reputation and needn't tell us about it. Listeners are quite capable of figuring out how good it is for themselves.
Reply:Yes I totally agree! Then it will be endlessly repeated until we can recite it word for word! And we have to pay for the pleasure!!!!!
Reply:not nearly as bad as the BBC advertising dr who at the cinema - that is just taking the pi$$
Reply:It drives one up the wall !! More than that the endless reading of "Old News" and THEIR breaking headlines is another annoying tendancy.
Reply:ivt news does it too
Reply:yeah i hate it too. It's like paying for it all twice and it's always the programmes that evryone is apparantly hooked on anyway. they should promote themselves. it's slightly different but at the moment i hate that eastenders advert. i thought it was some sort of charity advert like the ones they do for comic relief at first, couldn't believe it was genuine. rubbish
Reply:The BBC is not what it use to be, is it?





But it pretends its so much better than the other channels, eh?
Reply:I totally agree on the BBC news 24 advertising Alan Sugars program celebrity dancing on ice, Dr Who.i want to just watch the news when i am on that channel
Reply:The annoying thing is that these plugs are rarely ever news
Reply:The BBC are now known as the British Brainwashing Corporation. I can't believe what is classified as news on the BBC and I have caught them out telling blatant lies as well. I also find that they are incredibly biased at times.
