When it comes to new programming, so much is trialled on BBC3 or BBC4 aimed at different audiences. Not to mention Radio 4 which has seen plenty of comedy talent in particular being given a chance to experiment and gain experience before hitting the TV channels.It's obviously his football knowledge and being intelligent enough to host various programmes long before his views on Brexit and other subjects were known, Brexit wasn't even a word when he started presenting. Just because his views on those subjects are not to yours and others liking doesn't mean he can't do his job and if you think what he says has any influence on people, Especially younger ones your very much mistaken and is patronising to those people. As for taking up repeats, Yep the BBC are guilty as charged but they do take risks on programmes, Unlike commercial stations whos one sole thing is to entertain to keep people watching dire shows that are cheap to produce, ITV since it's become one entity it is dire to watch as is now C4 once the Government ended their contributions and they have to rely on advertising, As for C5, Enough said and then there are the multi channels which are all as bad. The BBC still has a place in today's world and now it's become an easy target for those in Government because it doesn't always take their point of view, We lose the BBC as we know it and we'll regret it.
