Should Uk tv licence payers get the Radio Times for free?

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Dinna be daft!

It's a listings mag these days, many papers print them for free. The review sections may be worth paying for, but nowt else.

And when was the last time you paid a licence fee for anything?

No, I won't vote in this one as it's ill conceived, immature and serves no purpose.

I'm almost evangelical about Digiguide. It's the only TV guide option for folk who spend far to much time with their computers.
