Then make it a subscription fee via a decoder of £145.00 because if you think there 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.

The whole point of the BBC is for it to be a public broadcast service not a for profit organisation like Sky.A subscription fee would be far greater than the current licence fee and it would only keep rising putting quality tv beyond the ability to pay for the poorest in society .The BBC make some fantastic programs that would be lost if it relied on subscriptions and the guarantee of funds makes it possible for such programming to be made and as i have said those funds must be used much more wisely and in the public interest
