Big can of worms ! The crud would still be covered by the licence fee; programmes worth watching would cost extra. Would the BBC derive enough additional revenue, or would some viewers stick with the crud, whilst others discover quality programmes offered by commercial channels and yet others prefer to spend their money on a celestial subscription ? The BBC could, instead, reduce quantity and focus on quality in order to balance the budget.
