The public service broadcast funding should be allocated differently if the licence fee is abolished and instead allocated directly to whichever channels took up the government's requirement to make particular types of programme (such as local news programming and public information programmes). Public broadcasting services do not have to be ditched just because there is a different method of making content available and this does not have to be the sole province of the BBC.

Still waffling on about the licence fee OB? Must be bigger things to worry about surely ?
How much did you pay VM last year (for mostly repeats), and how much did you pay the BBC (for mostly original content) ?
