The Govt. are determined to crush the BBC, slowly but surely. Pressure from their commercial pals, Murdoch, and they see it as a hotbed of socialism (Countryfile is a communist propaganda piece for sure..) Truth is, most of the decent TV is made by the BBC and repeated by other channels. One of those things that you really would be sorry if it went. Like cable/satellite it does need paying for, and doesn't thankfully have commercials. Its incredibly good value for money in comparison.

Most stuff is made for the BBC by independent studios. If the BBC went these studios would provide the same programming directly for commercial channels rather than having the BBC as some kind of parasitic intermediary
