Live TV? Fuck paying for that. And bollocks to waiting a week between episodes when most things are available to binge already 💜

Even things which originate on live tv, I'll watch on a streaming service so I can skip ads. And binge watch.

We don't watch anything live anymore really, record the odd thing to watch later. Our kids don't watch TV at all these days. I think the likes of tiktok, Instagram etc is bringing up a generation that can't concentrate on one thing for more than about 5 minutes.

Sports news or live sport is the only TV I watch nowadays… everything else is just the same material that’s been regurgitated differently for the last 2 decades.

YouTube and streaming sites are now my go to.

We hate watching up to date series as then we have to wait a week for the next episode.

Much prefer to binge watch a series.

I couldn’t tell you what was each channel now as not looked as normal TV for years.

I hardly ever watch live terrestrial TV ever. Now that most live sport is subscription-only along with any decent comedy series etc. there's just no point. Even news is pointless as I can read it anytime on my phone which even sends an alert if there's an important (or not so important) breaking news story.

I feel it really is time for the the TV Licence fee to be scrapped and for BBC's terrestrial channels to use a subscription model instead.

I do mixture of TV , YouTube and Radio ,,re TV usually become a dance expert within 2 weeks of strictly stating , enjoy quiz shows ( especially Only Connect and 1% club) can't wait for Traitors to start , Enjoy sports on Freeview (don't have Sky) , BBC & Ch4 news ,Mr Bates was brilliant and sad , Countyfile for the weekly weather forecast, loads of documentaries, When people say there's a load of rubbish on TV I think they refering to programmes they don't like , there's alot I don't like so I bright enough to watch something else, I think I've got about 70 different channels just with Freeview , if I was only allowed to keep one , TV , YouTube or radio ,,, it would be radio

I watch v little Tv frankly the licence money is less less worth it in my view too.

Monday pm is good for general knowledge and I do watch the news and panorama

However I am totally now biased against the BBC, their reporting it is so distorted- Gaza in particular

Terrestrial television is now so dummed down - it’s probably geared purely for selling programs to the USA where the average IQ. Is that of a paper bag
