Sometimes I think people forget all the extra things the BBC provides, all without advertising. e.g. local and national radio, website.

A commercial provider just wouldn't provife these services it if it wasn't profitable and full of adverts.
Yeah, but they don't get the benefits of the licence fee!

So how do you expect broadcasters to work with the reduced income that would result?

Methinks you've not thought this through!

Well, we can see that you ain't got no culture, then, MB. What happened to the mantra we keep hearing that the BBC is for everyone?
