IOM was using the fact that people who don’t pay for MR content listen to it as a justification for them existing Well no, the Radio licence fee was abandoned many years ago. You don’t need a licence just to listen to the radio 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I genuinely thought it was a general contribution towards the BBC so if you can show me otherwise I stand corrected. BBC radio seem to often talk about license payers on air and how they have to be careful with license payers money? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t you get that my point is that the people who want what Manx Radio offers are nearly all old and will not be listening in a few years? Are you Hi Vis’s alter ego?

Within those numbers some will agree with you some will agree with me . And it’s good that we have forums like this to share opinions there is no right or wrong . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it may part fund BBC radio, but as I understand it it is not necessary to buy a TV licence to listen to the radio. BB C or not. No doubt someone will provide the definitive answer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But can you see how a salesman (or a radio station) could massively manipulate those figures, which are accurate, to make it look Like there was far more engagement than there actually was? You quoted Manx Radio figures earlier. You must understand that you and I between us are probably 1000 views on this thread in the last three hours?

Maybe tax payers pay for it.? Or comes out of general Government funds ( mainly taxpayers money). I may not buy a TV licence ( if for example I don’t have a TV) but can still listen to the radio.

Take a quick look back to page 720 and see how many people liked Cindarellas post and then later mine and compare to any of your posts . Maybe worth thinking about ?
