The problem is, as I have been told by members of my family that work for Advertising Agencies ,that if you introduce the amount of advertising space forcing the BBC to advertise would, the prices would go through the floor. There already is an oversupply of advertising space, leading to reduced profits for TV channels, introducing more would lower the prices to the point where several channels (including the biggies like ITV and Channel 5) would possibly go bankrupt.
I don't think the BBC should be required to advertise, it would reduce the quality of their output, and the Independent companies would have to reduce program budgets below what they are already.
