I've no time for the BBC. The license needs to be scrapped and they need to get adverts. Oh so you mean like the adverts you get in BBC content on You Tube? Yes, exactly that.
There argument of 'we wouldn't make the programmes we make if we went commercial.' is flawed. In which case, you're obviously out of touch if you think you are winning viewers making shows for the minority, You Tube, tiktoc etc already offer videos for every niche you can think of.
Also, we could get rid of an entire government department, which on its own, is a great idea.
I only have a TV license because my son occasionally watches BBC content. The wife isn't bothered and neither of us watches live TV anymore.
If I lived on my own, I could legally watch live TV without a TV license, as there is a loophole, which I don't think has been closed that means I'm already licensed with a free license. Although I'm not sure I'd want to test I in court. I'd be the one they wanted to make an example of.
