No it doesn't .The bbc gets it's money regardless .Commercial stations have to produce programs that advertisers are willing to pay money to advertise next to ,ones that will grab the audience and so watch the adverts .I they don't, advertisers will pull out, revenue will fall and share holders will kick off ,ultimately the company will fail .To get it's revenue the BBC simply has to produce programs ,if viewing figures fall then the only consequence is a change in manager ,no loss of income at all ,so in reality no competition at all
