Oh, wake up and smell what they're shovelling! BBC have LOST Bake Off. Doesn't matter what they think. C4 will have promised them a lot of money to pretend they've quit.”

So we have gone from a cynical ploy in order for them to get more money from C4 to C4 paying them to pretend they have quit .

I don't know about coffee but it is a full moon coming up.

I should be able to buy any product I choose without contributing to the commercial tv sector. I look forward to your outrage at this choice being denied to you and my goodself.

I don't understand you, are you trying to assert that you resent buying day-to-day consumer goods because they get advertised on commercial TV?

It is the most popular and highest rating show on TV and has been moved at its peak.

Pseudo reality banal nonsense for a brain dead generation of viewer, not something the BBC should want to be associated with.
Get back to original thought provoking programming.

You are deliberately choosing not to understand. I resent a single penny that I pay for goods and services going to the commercial broadcasters. In short, I resent paying the Advertising Tax.

Worth listening to Michael Grade's comments about Channel 4 privatisation, he seems to think it is more likely now though I wonder if that is what they want as it means their senior executives' salaries will go from about a million pounds to several millions.

Be interesting to see what The Media Show has to say tomorrow.

...because it is the biggest show on UK tv currently? No?

Apart from losing a top rated programme the story is how successful properties can be taken away from a broadcaster in the age of programme publishing. This is actually a big issue for the corporation, they don't own a lot of popular titles and as such are at risk from being outbid - just like sport.

Yes. I agree. Grade's comments were very interesting. This could back fire big time on 4. Looking forward to the Media Show tomorrow on Radio 4 as you say. Will look in on BBC Newsnight tonight too.

The government have indicated that the BBC should not dare to really try to entertain the public.
So it put's the BBC in the position of not being able to really pay the big money any more.

I suppose many people never thought that mainstream BBC1 would be affected by this rhetoric.

You resent buying goods and products where some of the money paid goes to commercials to actually advertise them to the public in order to make the public aware of them in the first place?

I should be able to buy Kelloggs Cornflakes without a single penny going to ITV, 4, 5 and the like. That is my beef and my immediate rebuttal to any BBC basher including your good-self who moans about the licence fee. Well I am opposed to the Advertising Tax.

The two shows apparently similar to Bake Off that Love Productions tried to sue BBC over were, according to the Telegraph... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016...-british-bake/

- Hair (BBC Three, 2014)
- The Big Painting Challenge (BBC One, 2015)

Oh and just in case you missed it

The pair, whose unstoppable innuendos are a key draw for viewers, are understood to have rejected entering talks with Channel 4, and quit without inviting an offer from the broadcaster.

I haven't moaned about the licence fee.

You haven't any real right to buy a company's products and expect that none of the purchase cost goes towards making you aware of them in the first place by way of their TV advertisements. The very idea is simply beyond ludicrous. The rebuttal / comparison is also defunct because you aren't forced to pay any element to retailers under threat of penalty if you don't, you just don't get to have their particular product. A lot of licence fee payers would welcome that choice.

Your devotion to the BBC is almost like some quasi-religion, whereby anything that ISN'T the BBC or is connected to conmercial TV, which is just about everything, is resented and despised.

If that is your beef, it's a very poor example, long since debunked. Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) like Cornflakes sell in greater numbers because advertising raises awareness of them. If they did not sell in as great a quantity, the cost of production per box would be comparatively higher, and the goods would therefore cost more if they were not advertised.
