I think it's worth paying just to have some channels without adverts on, I can't stomach them and sick of watching 40 minute long hour shows. The right think it's left wing, the left think it's right wing so that negates each other. I think the programme quality in the main is good with some excellent shows/documentaries. I don't like most of the breakfast news team though, too up themselves for me.

To be fair though why should some people pay for something they don't want or use? Maybe a subscription option would be better. I think though if it was gone it might be missed.
