BBC has paid to show NFL games live on Monday nights, shouldn't they have used that money for something we actually care about?

[shanethegooner]

Like Eastenders?

[ProjectVRD]

Like Snog, Marry, Avoid. There is a reason they moved it to day time BBC 2! Oh wait...

You see, the thing with these American sports is that you make loads of money from the adverts - so it is pretty much like they are paying us to put up with some guff for a couple of hours at 3am or something. It's simple maths really.

Seeing as though its our money and the vast majority will not be watching it, no they shouldn't be spending our money on things we don't want.

I wish they would do away with the whole license rubbish and get their income from adverts like every other channel. I don't watch enough TV programs to let adverts bother me, besides they are useful for when you want to go for slash or a smoke.

Not so sure about that Warren. No licence fee, no super documentaries but more reality tv with text voting.

And hopefully no more Snog, Marry, Avoid?

So shows with high ratings are bad, but shows that few people will watch are also bad?

[ProjectVRD]

Yeah lol, tbh I am not sure if Snog, Marry, Avoid is popular or if it gets daytime scheduling because it is cheap enough to fill a daily slot. It is hard to imagine how it could get a lot of viewers but then again Question Time gets about 500,000!

Ooo NFL on monday nights?

I'll probably watching that then. I like NFL, wish the BBC would pay for some NHL too.
