They like ratings. TheCrownless Send a noteboard - 22/10/2009 08:22:59 PM
If you silience them they can be seen as vicitims, if you let them speak they will be exposed as hate filled fools.

Excuse myignorance of TV in the you UK but since the BBC doesn't sell advertising why would they care about ratings?


I'm worried about the increase in racial attacks that could be a result of increasing BNP exposure.

As for the BBC, they've moved Strictly Come Dancing (One of their flagship shows) back to an earlier time to stop it clashing with ITV's Xfactor, which has been beating them in the ratings.
The BBC makes lots of programs that dont get big audiences it's granted, however they do like the occasional big show of things to grab the audience share. Frequently they've shown new programs on BBC 3/ to see if their is an audience then moved them to BBC 1 or 2.
Logically they shouldn't care, but I suppose they see it as a way of validating their funding.
