Petition Stop BBC Adverts for it's own Programmes

More details

The BBC is increasingly using cross-promotion to promote its own programming, resulting in what are now long advert breaks between it's programmes.

The majority of people see the licence fee as a tax to stop advertising on the BBC and yet cross-promotion is moving ever closer to advertising than before.

This is epitomised by a recent BBC advert - "if its worth watching, watch it with us" which ran for 1m1s and served no purpose except to fill pad out a prime-time television slot.
