Very clever rang; "if a tree falls in the forest" Watch CBS start cutting the dead lumber.

Something's in the air - BBC is cutting 50% of its employees....(what can they possibly do with 28,000 employees?) That's one per viewer!!!!

Under the rems of the BBC charter,the BBC are responsible for collecting the television licensing fee.

The UK like a lot of European countries finance their bradcasting by charging every tv set and computer owner capable of recieving TV signals an annual fee (about $200).

They employ about 15,000 just to collect this fee. It is mandatory for TV stores to register each set sold by ser.no
and customer details to the BBC.
