If the BBC is so good then a subscription system would work because those that like it would pay for it, the fact is they are nowhere near as good as they think they are and they would have to dare i say it buck there ideas up so they keep there level of funding. Lets face it if there output is crap then they will soon find out as would they if there output was good. they would sooner sit on the fence pay high wages and redundancy payments to high earning managers and cry there poor to the Government.

Then make it a subscription fee via a decoder of £145.00 because if you think the BBC's output is that good then there is no problem with a subscription is there. Then i and other dont have to fund something we dont want to watch.
