Stu Peters Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 Damn that corporation - they insist on us paying a licence fee to subsidise a global operation and what do WE get in the Isle of Man? They should be covering proper Manx events like...oh, wait.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carbon selector Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 Damn that corporation - they insist on us paying a licence fee to subsidise a global operation and what do WE get in the Isle of Man? They should be covering proper Manx events like...oh, wait.... I think it is good that the BBC are covering the event. With new technology and all that it shouldn't be too difficult, especially when you consider for example, the quality of the Bushy's TT Tent webcam this year. How many reporters do the BBC employ over here, if it is three then it is too many for what they produce but there again is quite a low number when you compare it to the mighty Manx Radio. Do we really need the BBC when we have Manx Radio, after all they surely have the capability to broadcast film over the internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amadeus Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 Well done BBC! The oldest parliament in the world to be seen all over the world - like it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbon selector Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 Yes, but these days it doesn't take the BBC to broadcast to the world. At a most basic level, a decent home video put on Youtube might be seen by more people than the BBC. I am sure Manx Radio have the capability to do this and what about all those videos about the Isle of Man, whoever produces those could do the job. We need the BBC but we surely don't need more than one reporter based here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 Channel 504 on Sky is BBC Parliment. It has never shown the oldest Parliment in the world in action, yet it shows the Welsh, Scottish, NI and Lords, so that tells me how much they are bothered about the Island.

The Voice of Reason Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 Don't watch it then. What's up with everyone this week? Exactly. People who promote the briliiance of living on the Island (so much better than the UK) who then take the piss out of it's tradition and heritage (needles in eyes, paint drying etc). Why? OK Tynwald may be not the most absorbing spectacle but as D says don't watch it if you don't want to (it's not compulsory viewing in any sense) but there are people who are interested. It may even raise our profile a bit for those who feel we are ignored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
