Safran is right. This is a great business model, and PBS should adopt it both on air and online. Surely advertisers would line up in droves to sponsor “Frontline,” “Now,” “Independent Lens,” “POV” and the like. And it would be unthinkable for PBS to drop programming that draws lower ad revenue. After all, like the Beeb, PBS has a reputation to uphold.

ah mr. jones…

one latte less for you.
bbc may be some of the things you say, but as a web site, it is a daily must read if you want to know what’s going on in the world.

the fight over advertising is only an indication that from a business model stand point, bbc is moving from the 19th century to the 21st and it is not an easy leap.

Use Google ads, you prissy elitist twits - the BBC are a pathetic waste of money and its not like it isn’t biased enough already, if the president of Vogue was editing the content - who the f*ck would notice? Maybe it would be fair for once?

If they used Google Ads, they wouldn’t have to sell ad space and their content wouldn’t need to change.

If it isn’t already bad enough I pay £130 for a license to watch TV, legally, just so the BBC can continue to spout its anti-American rhetoric.

i’ll say it again…i have no problem with advertising.

i do have a problem with some commercials though. like the chevy one with john cougar singing. the twin towers lights is over the line. the katrina footage was borderline. why not show cheney having a heart attack or shooting that poor guy in the face?

that is our country.

the thought that mellencamp would sell out for that crap…

Oh those poor, poor people. Forced to taint themselves with money.
