To say they have plenty of money, is ridiculous. IMHO, It is propagated by people who's ultimate aim is to privatise the BBC. Given that you want the BBC to be a subscription service, I guess that would make you one of them.
Fortunately, the vast majority of the public feedback, prior to the White Paper disagreed with you, which is why we have the licence fee extended for at least eleven years.

The BBC were awash with money because of the certainty and amount of income that they were receiving from the licence fee, I don't think many seriously doubt this. My point was that the new funding arrangements have not decimated Auntie and she has quite a sufficient amount to keep going very nicely, thank you.
It is the Government who raised the prospect of a subscription to replace the licence fee. This would ensure that only those who wanted to access BBC programmes would have to pay for them. Why is that so crazy in your book?
