POLL! Should BBC only be available via subscription? So we can scrap the TV licence?

Following on from a recent thread ... Some people think the BBC TV licence should be scrapped, and some people think it's WELL worth the money and everyone should still pay for it ... even if they don't watch BBC, or access any of its services.

Some people on the thread - including me - think it should be changed to subscription, and do not agree with everyone having to pay the BBC licence fee ...

Sooo..

Click YABU if you think things should stay as they are, and EVERYONE should still pay the licence fee (whether they use BBC or not???)

And YANBU if you agree with me, that BBC should change to subscription, and the licence fee should be scrapped??? That way, people who want the BBC, and who use its services, can pay for it, and us people who don't want it/don't use it, don't have to subsidise them all!

I live in Australia, and here the ABC is paid for by taxes and is ad free. I guess paying the taxes is like your TV licenses, and it allows people who can't access subscription services to access the BBC and also y'all have all those radio programmes too.

I think every country has it's own state tv which is either paid by tv licence style fee or from taxes.

I dont see how it would make any difference. It would just mean paying monthly rather than annually. If you don't watch BBC just dont get a TV license

You have never needed a BBC license listen to the radio ever
