How convenient it will be when Â鶹Éç acquires paid advertising. This way it will have the perfect excuse it needs to justify its bias by insisting it must pander to its audience just like any other commercial station to maintian its audience share. And as a result of this new revenue stream, will license fees be reduced or eliminated altogether? Not on your life, just be grateful if they don't go up to pay for the new department which will administer it (and to add insult to injury, if you ask them why, they'll probably tell you without the advertising revenues, it would have gone up even more.)

He would if he is: not that I think he is, but the defence would be more effective from elsewhere.
