Do i think cameron will kill it off no i don't what i do think is that he will do away with automatic rises for the licence and maybe even introduce a cut in the fee but not kill it off. Why the bbc deserve the special protection they have is beyond me and being honest i have no problem with them having to compete in the commercial arena same as all the others.
If the audience is big enough for any subject it will be catered for as there will be sufficient revenue from it but keeping the bbc because they can cater to everyone and everything without a worry about the money side of it is not fair.

Well one day you will probably get your wish and if you think TV is tosh now you will find out this was the golden era of TV...
I shan't care as I'm planning to be dead by then..especially if I have end up relying on what passes for commercial TV because of your resentment at paying for a publicly funded tv station.
But then why pay your taxes for schools,roads,hospitals,street lighting and especially those parts of the town/infrastructure that you don't use..
