So I've just noticed that the news iplayer is running adverts. Specifically for Chevron. How did that get through the net? What do I pay my license for if not to watch content untainted by adverts? Please stop this despicable behaviour at once.
Yours, outraged of St Brelade.

In all the streamed content or just in some selected ones?
I'm using it a bit and still no commercials.

i sometimes use iplayer because we don't have a TV - no ads this end either??

It's when you click on something in the news site. There's an annoying 10 second streaming ad before the content starts.

I find it funny how people think that their liscense fee pays for everything that the BBC does.
The BBC makes a lot of other income from things like magazine publishing and licensing programme formats to other countries as well as selling DVDs and selling their programming to other networks worldwide.
I think BBC iPlayer is a great added feature . When you watch BBC news abroad there are adverts. I don't mind this as it brings in extra revenue for the BBC thus allowing me to pay less for the license fee, you get alot of stuff for your annual £135. What I protest against is that there is so much crap tv (like ITV) around clogging up the airwaves.- here hereondo
- I am sick of paying the BBC £135 a year for what they produce is 95% crap TV.roundabout

Don't get me wrong Baskerville, i love the BBC and the content it provides. But I've never seen an ad for anything but the BBC online so I'm surprised. It's not the international version of the site either, it's the UK version.

No ads for me. Maybe your ISP doesn't have a UK IP address (possibly French) so you get ads.

"Typical. Dude lives in a tax haven, then complains when he has to watch 10 seconds of advertising on media that The Mother Ship's population is paying for."
Dang right Nairn! Just because standards are slipping up there doesn't mean I should suffer.
I'm especially aggrieved as M&S didn't get their food shipment today. Had to slum it for lunch.
