You are not paying attention, Den. The subscription would replace the licence fee. There is no reason for this to be at a higher price if they also provide a separate offer with ads and no subscription.

Channel 4 are at it as well! Free with ads or subscription with no ads. Most SVOD services will offer dual options such as this in the future.

Channel 4 is to trial its own subscription video-on-demand service.

All 4+ will launch as a web only beta test with an invited sample group in December.

In a statement to TVBEurope, the broadcaster said the results of the beta test will be evaluated during early 2019 and will inform the future strategic development of the product.

It's thought the service will cost £3.99 for advert-free access.
