Local TV

Following a series of accuracy scandals, we asked people in Birmingham whether they still trust the BBC, how they feel about paying the licence fee, and if they believe the broadcaster should be reformed.

00:00I think it should be reformed. I think they should scrap the licence fee completely.

00:04It's aged, doesn't it, and it's not moved forward whatsoever.

00:09The TV licence, well, most people have their set of television now through different areas,

00:15either Sky, Virgin, what have you.

00:18And I know it's to do with the receiver and the television,

00:21but to me that's just quite a feeble excuse to take money off people.

00:25Especially with the price, obviously.

00:27For what we're getting, you know?

00:29I think the licence fee needs to be scrapped, to be honest.

00:33I don't think it makes anybody's purpose and, you know, the constant letters and badgering.

00:39I just don't think its purpose is being fulfilled at this moment.

00:45So, yeah, that's what I think.

00:47Yeah, we're being ripped off because we're channeling it from other source,

00:52through, like, your cable, through your Sky, through your internet connections.

00:56It's just a ripper.

00:58Shhh.

00:59Shhh.

01:00Shhh.

01:01Shhh.
