Willie Bone: personally I really only watch News, some drama and documentaries on the BBC. There is loads they broadcast that I choose not to watch. Surely this is the same with everyone. I agree Willie, PBS should be funded through general taxation meaning people pay according to their means. The Tv licence is merely an Entertainment Poll Tax and cannot be defended or sustained. How is it fair that my 87yr old father alone will have to pay the same licence fee as Richard Branson etc. The streamingsubscriptionservices provide what people want, they choose and pay for it. How is Eastenders public service broadcasting?
Privatise the BBC and create a truly PSB for all.
