Rejected petition To cancel TV bills and make channels free including movie channels during COVID
Programmes on Tv which were pre recorded have come to the end . This has led to a cancellation of programmes and people are having to pay bills for programmes they cannot even watch. I believe the government should offer some sort of bill cut on TV Bills is:Sky , Talk talk etc.
More details
During this unprecedented times , TV programmes and movies should be free to watch. There should be no charge on the TV Bills for sky , talk talk and other broadband connections. As there has been a cancellation of programmes the only way to ensure that people are being able to watch programmes is to provide this service for free so people have the opportunity to watch families without being charged .
