You don't actually think you get ITV, C4 and the rest are free do you?
you are not that stupid are you? do you think ITV is some charity
where every body works for nothing?

ITV is paid for by advertising revenue, revenue that comes from
advertisers from their advertising budgets, where does that budget
come from? *YOU THE COMSUMER* You may not get a bill for £17.37 per
month for ITV but you certainly pay for it just the same.

You pay indirectly to ITV and you have *absolutely* *no* *choice*
about paying for, no TV you don't pay for the BBC but you still pay
for ITV. Fact.
