Agree we should all pay our way. But the BBC has a choice - due to it having little choice overall as technology will, I am sure, overtakes the need for a TV Licence when some clever device allows us to access what we want to watch in a way that makes monitoring impossible.
The choice is pay per view or go commercial. A licence fee is archaic tho’ I fully appreciate just what an excellent service the BBC gives. But in all seriousness - why should I fund the BBC via a tax, when I find myself rarely watching what they broadcast? (Killing Eve - being an obvious and tremendous exception.)
I have long felt the BBC is biased and yet I am forced to fund an organisation whose News output has left me regularly gobsmacked.
I would personally prefer pay per view. That has worked well - and allows choice by the individual.
