It's a Conspiracy

I'm convinced that while the BBC is determined to defraud the public with respect to what it gets in return for the TV licence money, the commercial channels are in a diabolical conspiracy to produce so much televisual drivel that the public is forced to join subscription channels in order to receive anything even vaguely interesting or intellectually stimulating.

We have a plethora of free TV channels - or choice - as the marketing gurus would have us believe it's called. However, more is definitely less in terms of quality.
