If you count up all the times a person watched the BBC last year (counting each viewing as a separate person as O'Leary is counting each passenger flown as a separate person) in the same way, you'd have billions of people.
O'Leary is wrong.
yeah but o'leary is still on the winning end of that one financially because everytime you take a new ryanair flight you pay for it.
You just pay annually for the licence and usually once per household.
If the bbc was operated as a pay per view ie like for like,you'd see a substantial drop in its viewership turnaround
