Viewers are prepared to pay up to £3.50 more a month to safeguard commercial public service broadcasting, Ofcom said today.

The media regulator said it had found a "significant readiness" among the public to pay for PSB beyond the BBC while surveying consumers for the second phase of its review into PSB, which was published today.

Not on your Nellie matey. I don't watch the crap that's on now ~ damned if I want to pay for the privilege of not watching more crap.

Put ITV on pay per view and watch it go straight down the Swanee.

If OFCOM want to fund ITV's public service programs then give them the power to limit the ridiculous wages the BBC is able to pay to its senior staff and presenters, stop huge numbers of staff taking jollies as they did for the Beijung Olympics and stop wasting money and broadcast time showing crap repeats that nobody wants to see.
