So if I'm reading that correctly the BBC now wants to charge VM and Sky to carry it's content , don't we already pay for its content via the TV tax , if VM and Sky have to pay to carry this content surely the cost will be passed on to subscribers meaning were paying again for the BBC content , Sky charging the BBC is another argument but VM carry the channels for free and in my opinion shouldn't have to pay the BBC to carry its content.

But Virgin Media have the argument that they do not charge customers to receive the channels and if the PSBs were to remove the channels then they would not be committing to their PSB agreements of equal and fair access.
However Ad-Hoc services like Catch Up (not BBC iPlayer though) should be charged to Virgin Media as these are additional services which boost the platform.
Also its the Television License not TV Tax.
