Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

Not young and have two teenagers that don't watch TV ever (youtube on the other hand, oh lord).
Probably biased sample (age, tech biased etc) but I did a couple of straw polls at the pub when I was thinking of ditching the tv licence and that's the basis for the statement. They could of course be telling fibs 😁 but the general consensus was "why have the tv licence with what you can get from netflix Amazon disney etc".
So last time I was visiting friends in Northern England one of the really important events was going to the pub to watch the match. There you go, one room full of people clicking „watched live tv last week“.
Good point. But aren't most of the matches (and most sports generally) on paid/cable tv ? Everything of any consequence seems to be on Sky or BT Sports ? I rarely watch sport so I'm a bit out of the loop. I understood a handful of major events are legislated to have to be available on the BBC but only a few. Is that wrong ?
The "live tv" in the article above is just the stuff you need a TV licence for I thought ? BBC and ITV ?
If all the football fans are able to watch on BBC then all of sudden that's a much bigger number for sure.
