Might be not their fault but it’s definitely their problem now. People need confidence that they can access any kind of content on apples platform without problems and now it’s shuttered. Next time they’ll think twice. This and terrible hbo max app will really make people think about using a different platform.
Apple TV is definitely one of apples least perfect products. So buggy and even base happy path animations have skips and glitches.
They said in the past it’s “just a hobby” and boy are they treating it like one

It already is privatized you think they run adverts because we all love to watch them? The British public don’t own ITV as just one example: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ITV_(TV_network)
I got a better experience with an illegal stream than people that paid for it. LOL. Apple's got some explaining to do.
Try doing that for CNN, France 24 and Al-Jazeera as well as fast flicking among the channels. Not very ergonomic.
Channel four (which is the current discussion in the UK and the op was referring to) is not privatised and runs adverts. The bbc is paid for via the license, a subscription of sorts. The other channels are free to view and paid for by adverts. Makes no difference who owns them.
Of course it does, don’t be so stupid. Unless it’s owned by the British government/general public, then it’s privatized.
edit: before you try to get smart, I’m from the U.K. The OP I replied to also stated TV, not channel 4, get your facts straight. This whole thread is about ITV as well not that this is what I was replying to but you ware well off base.

First, don’t call me stupid. Second- channel four is owned by the government/general public. Third- look at the news once in a while. It’s all over it.
Channel 4 privatisation – how would it work and who would buy it?
Selling off the publicly owned UK broadcaster could depend on changing its business model
EDIT-
Editing your post afterwards doesn’t make you clever.

I merely said that running adverts doesn’t constitute to anything regarding the ownership status

its 91% privately funded so my original statements stand.First, don’t call me stupid. Second- channel four is owned by the government/general public. Third- look at the news once in a while. It’s all over it.

Mate, it’s owned by the Gov. It’s funded by adverts. Jeez. It’s not a debate just a fact 😂
If you read properly I’m talking about ITV, son, you know the key channel being talked about in this thread 🤦🏼♂️First, don’t call me stupid. Second- channel four is owned by the government/general public. Third- look at the news once in a while. It’s all over it.

Yeah I know- you keep editing your posts to reflect that. That’s not in question.
I’m merely saying that the fact that adverts are shown makes no difference to who owns the channel, and used channel four as the example (as that was what op was referring to (off the cuff by the way) when he said about the tories privatising tv).
Contrary to what you stated before you went off on one and moved all the goalposts, publicly owned tv channels can be privately funded. Channel Four is such an example.
Here is what I said “Of course it does, don’t be so stupid. Unless it’s owned by the British government/general public, then it’s privatized.” That not simple enough for you?
How would someone named Hartley Charlton know if England fans will have had reason to celebrate .. ?

That’s true. Except you said it in response to this:
“Channel four (which is the current discussion in the UK and the op was referring to) is not privatised and runs adverts. The bbc is paid for via the license, a subscription of sorts. The other channels are free to view and paid for by adverts. Makes no difference who owns them.”
Channel four is owned by the government, and is publicly funded. So, no - it makes no difference to how it’s funded in relation to who owns it.
I said in response to that? That’s a quote of you not me!
edit: in fact my response to that drivel I politely reminded you the whole thread here is about ITV and that you are off topic.
Edit
because you are talking about something different to the thread home boy - stay on topic.
It’s gone off topic becuase you’re being obstinate. You know what you said, I merely said you were wrong. Publicly owned tv can be privately funded. That’s all I’m saying, correcting you after you incorrectly stated otherwise.
All the other stuff is you not liking the fact.
No it’s gone off topic because you can’t stay on topic. This thread is about ITV, I replied it’s not public you decided to bring channel 4 into it. Not my fault you can’t read, comprehend and stay on topic. You are blocked because I don’t deal with stupid - peace!
note,
I said ‘it makes no difference who owns the channel’.
You said ‘of course it does, don’t be so stupid’.
But as I said, Channel Four is government owned and has adverts.
