I just tend to use BBC for the news, but I use iPlayer for various things and MOTD. I probably should use it more given that I pay for it, but
@brb can take comfort in the fact that I'm probably subsidising his viewing of Strictly come dancing and Casualty
I don't really get the 'woke BBC' argument. Is that about them being inclusive and trying to be aware of unconscious bias or promoting anti discriminatory practice ? Because that to me seems to fit their remit of being an impartial broadcaster. Maybe you can give me some examples of what you mean by the detriment of real inclusion ?
As for Linaker. He's a bit of a nob, but he's also part of the furniture when it comes to MOTD. If anybody needs the boot from that programme, it's the sarcastic, morose, cynical and dour bore Mark Lawrenson.
