It is being spent on the BBC ,it is allowing the BBC to be broadcast to everyone as a subscription free public service which is what the BBC is there for .Removing the BBC channels from sky as a free channel would turn it into a subscription channel for those who want it ,does that mean that sky subscribers would no longer have to pay the license fee or does it mean they would have to pay both license fee and extra subscription to recieve BBC channels.
