Sorry can't agree with that. Any other means involves commercial input that would defeat the whole point of public funded broadcasting.

You mean those 10 million who don't want to subscribe to pay TV? Do the ones who subscribe to Pay TV never watch the BBC, use it's catch up or listen to it's radio stations then?
