I'm also for getting rid of the licence fee but instead increasing taxes by equal measure and funding it that way. Hopefully enshrine that funding into law. The license fee is just too easy to attack nowadays.

I find the argument for purely commercial a selfish one as public broadcasting provides a lot of public good through educational means. I mean, just tune into The One Show or Spring Watch on an an evening and you'll get what I mean. Plus no ads!

And those are the minority of shows. So in reality i'm paying a lot of money for things that are commercial quality and not educational and don't use.

That's as about as selfish of not wanting to pay for a gym membership i don't use.
