One is useful the other isn't when they can just use a subscription model like the other TV stations.
Why should the BBC get a free pass on funding?
If they are that good then people would be happy to pay a subscription so making it a tax says to me they know people would not subscribe if they had the choice.
Maybe radio. Doubt the other two.poprock wrote:The Beeb does a million things apart from just make TV shows. For one thing it provides routes into the creative industries for tens of thousands of people. Talk to anybody in the film, TV or radio industries in the UK and I’ll bet more than 90% got their start at the BBC.

Is there no way the BBC can still remain none profit and have a subscription or adverts?

its someone teaching you about some ancient history at weird o'clock in the morning, or someone making you laugh for a few minutes on a shit day, or watching something that inspires you to get out and go somewhere or start a new hobby or sport.

Do you think I should pay for a TV license even though I don't watch the BBC?
Since it appears to be such a great institution should I pay for it's upkeep even thought I will never watch it?
