Jade: If you are referring to the Rhondda transmitters being for PSB only purposes then the programmes you are missing are not in any way connected with the licence fee, as they are purely commercial enterprises that only operate on the basis of profit expected, this in the same way as a National supermarket chain will not open a store anywhere that is not expected to return a high enough level of profit.
