I agree with what Lineker is saying and he is a brilliant presenter. However I have a real issue with the BBC paying anyone so much. Any service that is funded by the Licence Fee should not be paying anywhere near that much money!
I’d personally like to see the BBC (UK division) stripped to one general TV channel, a TV News channel and a handful of Radio stations (and the Licence Fee halved). I simply don’t buy the argument that the BBC needs many different TV channels to show different types of programming. The BBC can then have their streaming service split as i-player FREE (with all programming shown on TV/Radio) and i-player PAY with programming made for the service via subscription.
