Gromit is now taking the misinformation route as well. Dave is not "owned" by the BBC. It is UKTV owned.
//UKTV is a British multi-channel broadcaster, jointly owned by BBC Studios and Discovery, Inc. It was formed on 26 March 1992 through a joint venture between BBC and Thames Television. It is one of the United Kingdom's largest television companies//

//‘Live at the Apollo’ is a contempory BBC commissioned show. It is currently on BBC Two.
‘Dave’ the tv channel is owned by... the BBC, and show BBC repeats.//sic
That is what you wrote Gromit. Patently misleading. The Apollo is a theatre that stands alone. UKTV records some of the stage acts and the BBC shows only the ones that they approve of. They cannot prevent the Dave channel from screening the stuff that makes themselves do the snowflake meltdown. The BBC does not "own" the Dave channel and the Dave channel was not set up to exclusively show BBC repeats. Deliberately misleading. Perhaps you should seek employment with the Beep Beep See, you would suit each other.

Wow togo, you really are clueless and resorting to making stuff up.
// The Apollo is a theatre that stands alone. UKTV records some of the stage acts and the BBC shows only the ones that they approve of. //
This is how it really works.
‘Off the Kerb’ is a talent agency that represents most of the top UK comedians. It represents most of the acts that appear on the show ‘Live from the Apollo. Off the Kerb has its own production company called ‘Open Mike Productions’. They make the show, not UKTV.
Open Mike has an agreement with the BBC. The Beeb will buy the show in the UK and exclusively broadcast it. All the 84 show made so far have debuted on BBC1 or BBC2.
Rebroadcasting (Repeats) is a separate agreement between Open Mike, and a different part of the BBC responsible for delivering content to Dave.
The repeats are sometimes re-edited to fit into longer time slots on Dave. The slot on BBC1 or BBC2 is 30-45 minutes, but they obviously record a lot more material.

Prudie - // You only have to listen (briefly) to the puerile garbage Radio 4 puts out as 'comedy' at 1130pm to know how dumbed down, unfunny and out of touch with that audience the BBC is. //
I remember posting a few years ago about how seriously dreadful the 6:30 'comedy shows' on Radio 4 were - Claire In The Community, Rudy's Rare Records, and so on. I would listen, and be unable even to smile, much less laugh, and wonder why I couldn't hear what the studio audience were listening to when their laughter was stolen to put on these shows, since they clearly were not listening to what I was hearing.
The I found out that the 6.30 slot was given to the 'best' of the commedies that had been on in the later slot!
Best?????? How dire could those who didn't make the cut have been?????????

Ahh an admission then. The Beep do indeed "edit" the content delivered to a forced captive audience. More proof that they can indeed broadcast impartially to an audience that has a choice because they have to. All the more reason to scrap the Viewing Tax and let them utilise their "talented personnel" in the making of programmes that everyone wants to watch. No more guff about it being impossible. Decriminalise not having a "licence" and make them responsible for collecting the revenue that they deserve. It gets easier by the day for them to do so, what with most of us now receiving digital signal through either a Sky, Virgin, Freeview, Smart TV or whatever device. Sky and Virgin can block signal if you are unsubscribed. Make the Beep get on board the technology bus and stop hiding behind outdated legislation. It is even easier to set up a paywall if you are streaming online. The Beep should be given the short sharp shock of having to deserve an audience and not be allowed to take advantage of compulsory taxation of our airwaves. Then ask yourselves would you pay to watch the BBC?
