Not for long...


 

As has been discussed here earlier in the week, blog favourite Daniel Sandford, Home Affairs Correspondent for BBC News, became a news story himself this week after taking a pasting on Twitter for saying "At £13.99 a month Netflix is now more than the BBC licence and there is no radio, no live TV, no news online etc etc". 

He later called it "a simple, observational statement" even after hordes of people had pointed out that it was actually spin. £13.99 a month is for Netflix Premium for up to 4 screens. The basic package remains £5.99 a month. 

My favourite part of this is where Daniel changed the subject when he got caught out:

Daniel Sandford: At £13.99 a month Netflix is now more than the BBC licence and there is no radio, no live TV, no news online etc etc

Paul W: I’m only paying £5.99 for Netflix.

Daniel Sandford: Not for long....

Darren Grimes: The basic plan will stay at £5.99/mth.

Daniel Sandford: But the BBC licence fee is for unlimited screens, radios, devices etc for a whole household so most similar to Netflix Premium.
