The Government have made the BBC cover the cost of free TV licenses, which means their budget for actual content is now £750m smaller. And there has been the suggestion that the BBC be banned from making entertainment programmes like The Voice, which would ensure the company is less popular with the public and less likely to garner sympathy in future.
