Its days must surely be numbered with much viewing moving to on-demand and on-line services the huge majority of which are NOT BBC sourced.

Wasn't there some research recently that established that a subscription based BBC would actually achieve a higher revenue for itself?
No, it was some modelling work, which appears to state that people would pay £9 per month for Radio 4 alone
