Since @bbclaurak proclaimed, history would be unkind to those who objected to EU manufactured xenophobia I've been thinking about how to remove the @BBC entirely from my life.

Naturally, you should remove all billionaire owned press FIRST; they're worse.

How to banish BBC🔽

#radio4

Probably the hardest for complete replacement.

@Bloomberg will give you objective news coverage without a xenophobic slant.

For more in-depth documentaries, try podcasts from @IrishTimes, @FT or @TheEconomist #FBPE.

Then for general interest @NPR works well.

Radio - Music

Any of the music stations can be replaced by a plethora of commercial or online streaming services; I won't try to list them all.

@BBC6Music is, IMHO, hardest to replace. But most music discovery streaming services will do it.
Or maybe try:
openlab.fm/radio/shows/th…

For sports fan @talkSPORT is worth a mention to replace @bbc5live or @ITVSport podcasts/ live.

For the more silly end try @hellobuglers

Documentary/Drama output.

Almost everything interesting is on either Netflix or Amazon prime video, normally on the latter without extra charge if you have the UK version.

Be careful though, as BBC gets paid so if you're a purist avoider, you'll need to embrace other viewing.

General Entertainment.

I'm really not a fan or Strictly or any of the general entertainment output, so I'm not best placed to advise.

I'm sure someone will reply with alternatives.

Isn't the BBC the last bastion AGAINST the billionaire owned tax haven press you think undermine Democracy?

I've considered this. #Brexit showed definitively it no longer is and can no longer defend media objectivity.

Time we invested our viewing and listening in those who may.
