http://www.theguardian.com/media/2015/n ... -athletics I'd be interested to know what you think of that. I detest what the Tories are doing to the Beeb just because they're basically power-mad, money-grabbing zealots. A state broadcaster that even today stands strong and head and shoulders above any other despite our country's size. And they wanna drain the life out of it. It's sickening. As it is, BBC online news is now way behind other sites when it comes to updates. The spelling and grammatical errors are getting worse by the week. The recent changes are about grabbing attention via racy headlines for the hard of thinking, often not remotely giving a mini synopsis of the main story. So lets make that worse. Sport I don't follow personally, but one glance tells you it's quality in the main. The Beeb has also been at the relative forefront with 'minority sports', which I imagine even covers women's football if I had to guess. Which totally falls under the remit it's government and other opponents use as a stick to beat it with... At this stage the organisation would be better paring back as many roles as possible, whilst going further online programme-wise. Present the Tory morons with business plans for selling content while hiding as much as possible from the fcuking [LIFTED]. Nothing is ever gonna please them anyway, so don't do a fcuking thing until absolutely necessary. |

Red Button 'at risk' from £150m BBC cuts - BBC News http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-34851369 Don't think I've ever used it for more than two minutes. |

I used to use it now and then when it came out but not in the recent years. |

The Digital teletext service had a point before the advent of smartphones and tablets but I'm really not sure it does now. If that's what the mean by 'red button' then I suppose I couldn't argue. If they mean the 'alternative feed' stuff (channel 301 on freeview & etc) then I wonder if they're going to take a lot of stuff 'online only' like the plan with BBC 3. Because tbh an extra camera at a gig or something really isn't all that big a cost to save. |

The red button has really been left behind by websites and iPlayer. It just makes sense to move content to that service and iPlayer that use what is a half way house between CEEFAX and full online services. |

I don't know what or how they've done it but I used the red button service (as in the text service) earlier this week and it's sooooo slow, much slower than it used to be. Looks like that part of the red button is dying on its arse. |
