I notice you are taking the view that it's all the government's fault. Well, abolition of the licence fee and introduction of voluntary subscriptions would put paid to that, wouldn't it?
It's a public service broadcaster, which you can't seem to get your head around. It's output is different from other broadcasters, as it isn't a slave to ratings and advertiser's. It makes programmes others don't as they aren't profitable. All that glitters isn't subscription TV.
Yes I'd wish there weren't repeats but unless you really want to pay a lot more £12 a month that's the way it is.

Tbh I'd wish it went off air in the daytime (like the good old days !), rather than all the property/antique programmes, and didn't do stuff like Strictly. But some people like them and it has to cater for all tastes as the licence fee is universal.

Can't be repeats if you don't watch them Mr Daddy

They are maybe not to your taste, but they are the most watched channels with 4 times the audience share of Sky.
