It was good until the past 5-10 years or so. Now, I no longer trust its news output after the way it has reported events in Israel/Gaza and the biased reporting of domestic events. I cancelled my license 3 years ago and made better use of the £400 I've saved. The quality of their shows is dire. I have no idea how they manage to consistently waste so much money on low-quality programmes. They should cut out sports and banal entertainment shows. There is also a lack of comedy shows. The BBC had its hey day in the 1990s and 2000s.
