Of course I can choose not to watch the BBC (I often do). The problem is I have to pay the BBC to watch live broadcasts from satellites and other services that they don't use or contribute to. Saying "well you could not have a TV" is not a valid answer. It might have been back in 1952 when it was the BBC or nowt, but now they are but one player is a global marketplace, but one with a guaranteed, by law, revenue of £3bn on top of the roughly £2bn it makes commercially.
If the BBC is indeed the national treasure we are always told it is, why is it scared of going subscription?
