You're not paying for repeats, you're paying for Woss and Brand's exceedingly generous salaries!
Because it is the law......you have to have a licence to receive broadcasts.
yup we live in a country of freedom of choice so if you dont want to watch bbc channels you dont have to pay for a tv licence..
oh hang on a sec i got that wrong
we live in a country where we have freedom of choice except when it comes to teh bbc where even if you dont watch their product we still have to pay for it
i suppose its a bit lik me selling cars and everyone having to pay me for one wether they want it or not because the govenment says they have to or face fines or going to prison

Talking of repeats, I'm sure I've seen this same topic turn up on numerous occasions in the past. 
It does look like there is a move to abolish the licence fee, but before you all start cheering, it may be levied from the council tax instead.......at this stage it is just a proposal....but it might just happen.
And to send over 400 people to cover events like Glaso and Wimbledon and don't forget the 17 employees who earn more than the Prime Minister
...and for Wossy's contract - £18m over three years.
...and for arts supremo Alan Yentob's pension pot - £6.3m.
...and for fomer Director-General, John Birt's leaving do - £150,000.
...oh, the list is endless!

Not forgetting the £60,000 of our money the BBC spent on Tracey Emin's sparrow on top of a tall pole in Liverpool.
Though not so tall that some thieving scousers haven't nicked it
...more than once.

£60,000
is that how much it cost Rindi, I can remember hearing about it, but didn't think it was so much. I know they say art is in the eye of the beholder, whats art to some people is crap to others, but 60k for that out of our money their having a larftypical govenment tactic to give with one hand to look good and take away with teh other in a sneaky stealth type way
Yes, and while I know there are not many people who do not have a TV set, they will be paying for something they choose not to receive....that can't be right.
I am waiting for them to bring in a licence for broadband access.
