The current system of paying for the BBC is broken and needs looking at. I fully agree with the suggestion that we need to keep licence payer funded broadcaster to provide a platform for niche and experimental television. I can't, however, accept that I should have to see some of my money be put towards biased, agenda led news output and over paying executives when they're removed for doing their jobs poorly. The BBC should be slimmed down and the licence fee reduced accordingly, not aim to be a behemoth like replacement for those who don't want to subscribe to pay tv.
