Supporting the TV Licensing Blog

The TV Licensing Blog is celebrating its seventh birthday this August and the future of the TV licence fee is under greater scrutiny than ever before.

Back in 2008 it was difficult to imagine that some of the BBC's most sordid scandals were about the be aired in public. Today it's fair to say that nothing surprises us about how the BBC manages its finances or conducts its affairs. 

It looks like we're riding the wave of public opinion too, with each new day welcoming hundreds of first-time visitors to our blog, many of whom return on a regular basis thereafter. 

One thing that stands the TV Licensing Blog apart from our like-minded colleagues is the fact that we often research and generate our own stories, which is often a time consuming albeit thoroughly rewarding effort. Even when reporting stories from elsewhere we always spin them in a unique way, instead of slovenly cutting and pasting someone else's efforts.

Crucially, it is a matter of great pride that everything we publish here is well-composed and accurate. We hate errors and omissions and constantly strive to get our content right first time.

There are several ways you can support the TV Licensing Blog and help it grow over the next seven years:

1. Comment:

It doesn't matter whether you agree or disagree with our point of view, please feel free to leave us a comment expressing your opinion. Due to previous abuse of the comment system, it is sadly necessary for us to approve each comment before publication. If you submit a comment please wait patiently while we approve it. We approve virtually all comments and will only reject those that are overtly spammy or contain threatening/abusive language. We will try our best to respond to each approved comment, although please understand this is increasingly difficult to do as we grow in size.

2. Share:

If you've found our articles helpful, informative or entertaining then please share them with your friends and tell them where to find more of the same.

3. Get Social:

Please subscribe to our social media accounts on Twitter, Facebook, Google+, YouTube and Pinterest and use those channels to share and promote our content.

4. Download:

Grab our free ebook, TV Licensing Laid Bare, and pass it around to people you know. We review and update TV Licensing Laid Bare on a regular basis and you'll always find the latest version here on our blog.

5. Shop:

We want our content to be freely available to as many people as possible, which is why we provide so many resources here on the blog. It is an unfortunate fact that many people struggling to deal with TV Licensing will be facing financial difficulties of their own, so the last thing we want to do is penalise anyone by charging for our content. 

However, if you would like to "buy us a pint" then by far the simplest thing to do is use our Amazon link for your normal shopping. As you'd be shopping with Amazon anyway, this is a way of helping us at no extra cost or effort to yourself. If you're a regular reader of our blog, you might be kind enough to even bookmark that link.

6. Return:

We like writing and new content appears on our blog on an almost daily basis. Please keep returning to see what's new. You might like to subscribe for email updates using the box on the sidebar.

Thank you to all our loyal readers for their continued support.
