It appears that certain of the Righteous Taff's are upset that Welsh language programming has been dropping on ITV Wales.
So they want to give them £25mio of public money to produce more programs of people sounding like they are gargling phlegm.
£25mio fund for broadcasting crisis
Now ITV Wales is a commercial broadcaster , it makes its money by selling advertising time during programmes, now the more people that watch said programmes, the more they can charge.
If your programmes are crap, nobody will watch and advertisers won't pay you to advertise to 3 people and a sheep. ( Just look at the Freeview channels after 11pm, all ads for mobile chat lines and call in casinos). So I guess ITV Wales has just been doing the sensible thing and dropping the programmes nobody watches for those that they do, a sensible business decision.
Now what gets my goat ( or sheep if you will ). We already fund BBC Wales through public money ( the licence fee) and S4C is a Welsh channel, boyo. Why on earth should the public fund a commercial enterprise that has already adjusted its business model to ensure it remains viable.
It really does just beggar belief how many special interest groups still have their fucking hands out for our cash even in the midst of a recession.
When they invented pipes and taps most people started using them to get their water and chucked the old bucket down the well with all the other rubbish. We're in the 21st century and most of the world speaks a similar form of English. The old stoneage languages like Welsh should also be tossed down the well for what snotty use they are to anyone.
